question: how many pilots does it take to staff 12 airplanes at a place like XJT? as in, how many jobs does this equate to?
Where are the planes? ATL or DTW?
Comair, I believe.
I'm hoping it's just the internet, but you sound so proud of this fact, and happy to get more "big jets" to your company and it's subsidiaries... so glad I never went airlines.All of Comair's planes allocated to XJT are already on property and flying...
Understood. I think I'm reading into his post too much, or hope so anyways...Airplanes don't come out of thin air, especially when YOY capacity is down.

Actually, I think Derg was implying the opposite. It's less than a zero sum game right now.
I didn't realize that 9E's 900's were in play yet.
tl;dr: no shortage, now get back into your Brasilia. (Ya know? I like looking at the islands from 8,000'.)We're not adding capacity on the Delta side, if you look at the numbers.
So new jets, on the delta side, are a net increase at "Airline A" and a net decrease at "Airline B"
Like when people say "They're having retirements at Delta, here comes the flood!" Well we're parking jets and taking expanded liberties with domestic and international codeshares to make up for the loss of bodies. Alaska Airlines and the Air FRONNNNZ conglomerate loves us long time, GI.
