It's sort of a vicious cycle we're in. If we lose instructors, professional or check airman, then we can't train as many newhire FO's. If we don't have new FO's coming onto the line, then we can't afford to pull FO's off the line to go to upgrade. If we don't have new upgrade CA's coming onto the line, then we can't afford to pull any more check airman off the line to do training. We also can't keep up with the number of CA's leaving the company, and forget about actually increasing our staffing right now.

I think their plan is to just hang on by their finger nails till the summer ends and our flying drops off so they can ramp up the training again.
