No it's coincidence. Your armchair analysis of crew planning is what's really important. They didn't know what they were saying in their own report.
How many 777 CAs are retiring system wide?
How many 777 CA bids are there?
What's the net gain system wide for 777 CAs?
How does this even begin to staff the GROWTH in 777s?
Do you see my point yet?
I get your point. Yes the bids will go to SFO and EWR. Yes this bid builds SFO and EWR above current retirements. Yes that's what crew planning said was going to happen. If we lose 0 777s and gain 14 a system bid that adds only 7 CAs until OCT 1 does NOT account for the new planes. Either way it's growth.
All I was trying to say, which clearly you did not read, is that this bid was not as big as I expected it to be and it does not address the staffing numbers needed for the new planes.......
Can we end this now or do we need to throw around a few more insults?
