Who knows what their plan is? I would surmise that they don't
Even know.
Big picture, per the flight ops update..
They are going focusing the Airbus hub flying out of DEN, IAH, SFO, and ORD. These hubs will be set up to do major reliability maintenance at night. More and more of the New York Airbus flying will be flown out of LGA. The February mix of EWR/LGA was 50%/50%. It improved slightly in March to 60%/40%, but their stated intentions are to sharply decrease EWR Airbus flying.
If you look at the staffing min max numbers going back about 18 months, they've gone from a min of about 100 captains to a min of 73. At the same time, they've grown the SFO Airbus captains from a min of 100 to a min near 150.
Not the best news for us New York Airbus folks, unless you live closer to LGA.
