I guess I don't understand how it can ONLY be on paper?
Just for argument sake, let's say this bump of 30 goes to 10 very senior line CAs (all non PIs) and then 20 very junior CAs (inverse seniority from the bottom) -- 7 of those bottom 20 are PIs and one is on LTA.... So how many are actually going to be bumped?
The PIs are on the seniority list. Does the company count them as part of the 30? Or will they actually bump 38 CAs?
The 'PI' aka FIA do not positively or negatively impact the staffing in a BES. Perhaps not the case in DEN, but in many other bases you'll see them on a BES that they don't even fly in or teach on. My best guess is that if they want 30 people to be bumped from a base, it'll be 30 line pilots + SUP/TI. I've been wrong before. You could always e-mail manpower planning and see what they say.
