But the block hours that are given to DEN 756 are gonna have to come out of some other domiciles pocket reducing the need for vacancies. EWR 320? Those numbers have been reduced consistently for the last couple years.
Anywhere West Coast? The trickle down from closing SFO -400 and LAX 777 thus requiring a 787 cleanup will reduce the need for vacancies on that coast.
I hope you're right though.
What about retirements? You seem to be missing that fact that 405 pilots are scheduled to retire between today and AUG of 2018. Thats more than all the 747 pilots combined plus some.
So Ill fall back on my well see stance. I have given you a ton of material to throw back in my face
. I can't wait to see what happens.
