With a year break from receiving any more aircraft…we should be able to outpace retirements by at least 200.

The year I am referring to is Mar 2021 to Mar 2022 …after the ochos…when we have no deliveries scheduled…we hired 321 this year so expect we can easily do 350…..minus your 150 retirements….would mean gain of 200 pilots by my math.
By then we should have the new training center built... 767 also seems easier to train than the 747. Having extra pilots on a crew just to do OE eats up bodies.
As long as they keep plugging away we should be much better off this time around…I also predict less retirements as we get closer to contract time….peeps will wait around to see what additional benefits they can sneak out the door with.
