My count 8-10.
When we add the 190s 10-12.
500 retirements times an average of 6 initial training events per retirement (not every retiree is a 777A) equals 3000 initial schools in 12 months.
800 retirements X 6 = 4800 initials in 12 months.

This is exactly why the IOE trip drop issue is huge. Sure DALPA in their infinite wisdom looked back and said "Gee, if we had it back when" it would only have affected 2% of Pilots. Even if you believe the 2% number the fact that they totally overlook the 2nd and 3rd order effects makes it dubious but more importantly looking back is meaningless.
Is any Delta FO ever going bid the June 2015 month again? The question is what will June 2018 look like? June 2021?
Is it any wonder the company wanted this off the table now - every month that goes by our leverage on this issue grows.
