I'm curious: How are the many displaced pilots that are going to need training due to this last AE going to cover said summer flying when they'll be sitting in the schoolhouse? It is already the middle of June (and if I'm not mistaken, this was for July conversion at earliest). Anybody training for a new position
may make it to the line by mid/late-August...
Additionally: did not the AE/management state that this AE was to set up for
Fall/Winter flying?
