Even if the fences were higher they would still have rediculously high training costs. the mesaba jet guys getting retrained to fly 9e, the mesaba saab guys getting re trained to fly something else, and some of the boston saab guys getting retrained to fly something else. add on that the jets for 9e were understaffed so they had to re train others anyway. if the captain fences were higher then 9e fos would upgrade and you would still have to train any FO's jumping over from the props to take their place or new hires. maybe some language does need to be fixed in the CBA so that a domicile change doesnt cause a seperate training event but training costs were going to be astronomical anyway because of the cluster that they set up in the first place, not bloch. Bloch simply used the numbers that we currently had for the fences. if pinnacle wanted them higher they should have had the staffing higher on the jet side in the first place.
