Default 76 fleet to grow by 1/3

Option for 8 additional 76s has been exercised. Piled on top of the 19 previously ordered and an additional BCF that means the 76 fleet is growing fast. Notice no similar announcement of rapid training capacity growth. Should be entertaining

More instructors are being hired, the GAT is being expanded…maybe not rapidly, but there is training capacity growth in the works. The real question is how are they are going to number the new tails over 100, and how can they make them different than the previous 19 so we can learn another set of differences.

Any contract language that states a ratio of PRMs to aircraft? I see a lot of 2-hour premiums in the future...

No. Why is that? PRMs are only need on routes over 7:45. Not a factor so far.

What is the 2 hour premium gonna be for?

The premium for no PRM is way more than 2 hours…
