Someone about 80 pages ago, as in the day before last, asked about where they'd sit if we took back the outsourced flying. Given that even a small movement of aircraft creates an enormous cascade of training and movement I just thought I'd make a simple chart.


It's simply the total pilots broken out by aircraft make and model and then by widebody or narrowbody types. And yes I added the 7ER and 767 together, there is no way to break that apart since anyone can fly any type it's just where you fly it that differs. So it's all one.

So then using the narrowbody ratio of 12.2 pilots I multiplied by the max number of 76 seaters we can have and that came out to 3,111. Then I used only the next gen 737s at Alaska (figuring they're in the lower 48) and multiplied our 737 ratio by that number.

And then I added back our total 12,232 number that includes NBCs and management and SLIs.

Just a thought, take it for what it's worth. A really speedy table that hasn't been proof checked. No time. Going out.
