Then senior management must be lying in negotiations, why do I say this?
LAX goes skywest, 11 aircraft means excess 99 pilots.
ATR returning to lessor 25 aircraft for 225 excess pilots, makes on these two items 324 excess pilots.

Management says AA will increase there contract feed with other carriers, which means a reduction in flying at the current AE, so I would ask where is the flying coming from if AE has 324 excess pilots and wants to hire 400 in 2013?

The 324 plus 400 for total 724 pilots equates to 80 aircraft being introduced to the current AE airlines without any parking of other aircraft.

So why is ALPA willing to push a poor contract on the pilots at AE?
