I believe that would be a decrease of a little over 1%, not 6%, if they ran right at the top of the TLV range.

Oh...I missunderstood what I was reading, I thought they were raising the ALV by 5, not just 1. That's good, but still a manning loss, even if 'only' 1.267%, that's 151 pilots off a 12,000 pilot list...and there's that extra 15 in the reseve thing too.
