I thought one crew for ULH was 4 pilots. And we are talking 773ER which will mostly be used for ULH to JFK, LAX and later SFO.
Anyway, I was thinking of the number of ULH flights per day (using LAX as an example) and thus the number of pilots just to do those flights. I also have been told (straight from the horse's mouth) that one extra LAX per day means 70 extra pilots.
It doesn’t really matter; whatever the crew:aircraft ratio, more aircraft means more pilots. Which is a good thing.
