Second, let me give you the definition of "net" as applied here:



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:


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.
