Let's start with I don't know you so I'm not sure we're friends.
Second, let me give you the definition of "net" as applied here:
net (n
t)
adj.1. Business a. Remaining after all deductions have been made, as for expenses: net profit.
So, let's do a little lesson.
A "net" of zero means that after deductions (MEM DC9 CA in our case) there will be the same number of total captains as before the AE.
Here is the quote again from Crew Resources so you can re-read it:
One of the primary drivers of the Nov AE was the addition of 39 330 crews. This helped contribute to a net total of 42 new Captain positions being created from the AE. Some of the new captain positions were filled by upward movement from lower positions, including the DC9.
There is NOT a "net zero" as you claim. There is a NET GAIN
of 42 new Captain positions being created.
Simply put, you are wrong. A net increase of 42 captain positions system wide, and ALL of them are at a pay grade greater than the DC9.
There are some real problems we are facing, this isn't one of them so take your straw man and go home.
