I'm not dodging it, I can't answer it. I don't know what it costs for an annual recurrent training for a First Officer is. As far as does it make sense for an airline? I suppose it might make sense if it is the difference between flying or parking the airplanes is the reality. When you furlough a pilot, you layoff the cheapest labor, not the most expensive labor.
