My point is I can't see how they can manage to dump all 176 at the same time with only 6 weeks to retrain/displace.

They put the guys that will need to transition in class and keep the guys they're going to furlough on until the others get out of class. It should happen in steps. This can be a good and bad thing. Someone living in base could now be displaced to another base. Our contract doesn't really allow movement from one cert. to another unless it's a pay raise. So if you're a CA in a 145 and get moved into a 170 you're stuck. If you're an FO you're stuck into whatever aircraft they move you to since FO pay is the same across the board.
Maybe Sharkey can explain this in better detail I'm unsure how the company will handle the displaced CVG guys. I don't know if they'd move you to different equipment based on seniority # or if they'd simply take the guys from CVG and put them where needed.
