I added in the Adjusted Crew Count that was used for staffing ratios on the award. The Adjusted Crew Count took the 610 and 602 and spread them out amongst the various aircraft. Finally, some pilots retired prior to list build, NW has an early out program in place as part of the Furlough Mitigation Letter.
