Rogue,
You raise an interesting point and I'd dare say ALPA's been working on that calculation. Very early when this was calculated it is my understanding the result was as published ... enough crews to staff for the 7 330's from the Motor City to the Stoner City and back again. The choice of the 330 probably means, what, 10 to 12 7ER's to generate EASK balance?
The fact the Company's been squeezing the list to staff the bottom ( MD88 / 717 ) from the middle (76 & ER to 320 & 737 to MD88 & 717 ) suggests if the Company had held extra staffing that they aren't doing so any more.
Yours is an interesting theory. But, not interested if it is a trial balloon for excused noncompliance. We've really got to do something to alleviate stagnation that results in the vast majority of our narrow body First Officers being qualified for membership in AARP.
