Assume one training event is one month long and each training event pays one month (ALV). If this is the case then 1 pilot job would equal 12 training events (12 months in a year). Take 6000 training events and divide by 12 would give you 500 pilot jobs. And that's if no training events at all happened. Even with pay banding, we know some training will happen so the number of lost pilot jobs will be somewhere between 0-500.
