Just simply trying to understand a bit better. Thanks!
First, this is not "new" flying for us. These airplanes are coming out of the DL system straight over to AE. We are not hiring any additional pilots, but rather will be displacing guys over to DFW to staff it.
Secondly, AE is not going to be furloughing as a result of this. Yeah, LAX closed and that sucks, but no jobs are being lost as a result. In fact, last I heard, the furloughs were being recalled.
