Did you really think they would keep the same number of pilots while reducing the aircraft count? By the way I am a 7ER captain and my category is shrinking away, just like I thought it would when everyone said openly and repeatedly that they were retiring 757's. In over two decades of flying I have never seen a time when they cut back on a specific type of aircraft and didn't reduce the staffing on that aircraft. Is that something you are used to seeing?

In fact, you had a completely accurate picture, it is just you chose to think it meant something else. It was clearly stated that the 717's would be on the property in September and that is two months away. It was clearly stated that this transition was a three year process that hasn't even begun yet. I am not sure what you expected but what is happening is exactly what you were told.
