The way he/she is expressing his/her own opinions are in a negative form.. calling us liars and making up statements with no facts to prove it.
Now I'll SPECULATE and he/she has some validity when it comes to parking 200's. I can see them not renewing the 200's when it expires, for the fact that their may be a shortage of pilots. Especially once the 2 year mark hits for the folks who took the ATP test during the last few weeks before the new course. Those planes could be parked to account for that and to alleviate the inability to attract a massive amount of pilots and keep up with attrition.
In terms of the "boat" being missed, I highly doubt that. FO's are getting jobs elsewhere. We have a Colonel who flew for Bush on Marine One. Do you really think he will be here too long? He is probably just getting his type and will be picked up fairly quickly. Same goes for the F-16 Pilot who sat reserve for a month and went to Delta.
