That is nearly 8% of the pilots in the base being displace as a result of the ER reductions. I also feel the the last AE news letter was preparing the pilot group for further displacements out of the ER category. However, everybody on this forum assured me that the 25% reduction in 7ER flying is normal and that they will not actually reduce the number of pilot in the category. So that is good.
Actually, now that you've made me think of it, I was displaced last year in Feb/Mar time frame and reinstated on the next bid prior to going to training. DOH!
Regardless, the last 2 or 3 AE's have not had any displacements on them. Hopefully that continues.
Well, I hope they are right! I certainly don't think 25% of the category will be displaced. I hope most if not all of the surplus is taken by guys bidding off voluntarily but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some displacements.
