Sorry James, the fact that a 63 year old doesn't WANT to go to training for a week and a half for a similar flying experience is not my problem. It is simply part of the job sometimes. The route is the same. The pay is the same. The flying experience is the same except I heard the cockpit in Sparky is quieter.
IAH can absorb most of the 170 affected pilots getting bumped off Sparky. Some commute, and will probably choose to commute to a different base so the number is even less.
Same pilots, same routes, same pay. Non-event.
