How many events can this training department handle a year again?
But come hell or high water, no matter what, even if flights are cancelled - the A320 is overstaffed.
Given the timing of the new bodies, the unfilled 717 slots will be slated for newbies and displacements to "fund" positions will slow to a trickle or cease. It was just illogical on the latest crew planning news that they could even think of "funding" the 717 slots with continued displacements.
