How many of those 119 are scabs? Serious question, I had heard that they were flocking to that jet. Maybe instead of "Sparky", it's the "Scab-Wagon"!

With FAR117 requirements, W-pairings, and forecast retirements the company may be hedging their manpower bets. I don't think anyone will be surprised to see management squander any inherent efficiency that the aircraft offers.
