You don't think fleets ought to be expanding?

I mean, I'm not privy to the labour side of the airline industry, but being on the customer side one would hope that they do find ways to grow and expand. I don't think 30,000 is an unreasonable figure. As far as I know, there's about half that number of aircraft in the world's airlines today. If the stables grow by that much, I don't think 1 million is an unexpected figure.

But like I said, distant projections there... the industry is far, far from being over the hill and the job side of it looks to be getting worse, not better for now.
