I'm just going off what APC reports: 46 CR2s and 61 stretch RJ's. 46/107 = 43% of fleet "bye bye"
I can only assume total pilot staffing will also drop by 43% as they shift staffing levels for 2018. Hence the numbers posted above. I'd love to know where your 31% came from.
And you're correct, there will be MASSIVE attrition now. But I wouldn't count on it coming from the lifer CA's who occupy the top 28% of the seniority list who'll keep their CA seat when 2018 arrives.
