I would say a reduction of 25% to the largest category in the company and a widebody category at that in a 6 month period will have a very dramatic effect on any progression for years to come.
Yes I new we are retiring 757's but this is the first I have heard of such a huge cut to the 7ER in such a short time.
A 25 percent reduction in the ER category is the norm every year from summer to winter.
