A flush due to a reduction in staffing requirements of 125 sometime next year? Not likely. There are over 12,000 pilots in this airline, we probably have more than 125 going in and out of MLOAs and LTD on any given month. There is no way for the company to plan on taking advantage of that or economically flush guys down, then give AE as our mainline fleet size starts growing to nearly 800 starting at about the same time the work rules kick in. If they could economically flush guys down there wouldnt be an early out program.
No flush down, more AE than surplus bids and approximately 275 early outs.
