Carl is basically correct. I am sure there will be a minimum number of more Pilots required (reserve pay equality etc) but it may be very, very small. It depends how the company changes the trips. But either way it will be a benefit to the Pilot group.

A. If the company did not change the trips at all we would need more Pilots.

B. The company can increase the efficiency of trips to minimize credit. This would minimize the additional Pilots required but would have guys spending less time at work.

Lets face it going from a 4:30 ADG with two carve-outs to a 5:15 ADG with the more onerous carve-out removed can not be anything but good for the Pilot group.
