Default Going to ASA/XJT

What I thought looked like a good decision a few days ago is taking a turn for the worst. Lets go over this: ASA is losing 14 planes (8 CR7, 6 CR2) and XJT has contracts for 27 aircraft up in April. Thats a total potential reduction of 41 aircraft by the end of April. By just some quick numbers, that means the combined company could need 400 LESS pilots by summer 2012 and thats just the start of it. Is this really the best place to go right now? It certainly seems like they are moving in the wrong direction. Anyone have any incite to prove me wrong? It seems like the upgrading and hiring could take an abrupt 180 pretty quickly here in a few months. Plus, look at the amount of 50 seaters they have. Oh boy.....
