Also confirmed that we will be down to 7 747's at the end of this year with only 6 flying.

I think i get now how they do it...
1) you can increase wages in c2015 to a level that would pass by 51%
2) park WBs
3) without WBs the C2015 pay increase is only a net 2% increase on total cost to the company.
4) it's not cost neutral... we made more money per pilot.
