350 or so on 727. 50 to retire from all 3 seats or so. Lots of people to still absorb in training at once. Unproductive people. Not generating revenue.
A 5% reduction in total BLG makes the shutting down cost neutral, shifting more flying to reserves on reduced BLG, etc etc. 10% saves a significant amount. Someone could get a good MBO out of this.
But I hope your correct on your points. Just a little paranoid about how these sudden decisions get managed.
And thanks for the polite disagreement. (Am I really on APC? Lol)
I think the NC did a fair job on this. I just don't want to ink this because I truly feel we have greater issues in the CBA as a whole to take care of and should work on the whole deal.
Time will tell how this just culture will play out.
That is not anywhere near the number that need to be awarded a new seat, meaning many are already accounted for in other seats via passover bids etc.. If you do the research you will find out that there are far fewer that need to be awarded a new seat via excess. Will there be a training bubble of 727 guys for a while ? Of"course but need not worry that a "prevent or delay furlough section" would be used, while in section 6 no less, as a way to extract pain, punishment and cost savings from the 727 pilots you are sending into training.
