Divide that number by 12 to get average hours a month of 3,167. Then take 3,167 and divide by 80 hours a month which equals about 40 rounded up. So, by my very public math there is a POSSIBILITY of a loss of 40 Captain and 80 FO positions from a strictly international category IF the company goes to the minimum GBH's. Possibly fewer FO's if from 75/767. I do not see them doing this anytime soon.

My contention is that it is not anywhere close to a win that we are giving up our piece of the JV pie for a 'protection' that conservatively costs 120 WB jobs if we ever have to rely on it.
