Sort of like "internal" hiring.

We were paying many hundreds of pilots to not fly, and paying hundreds of others 140 hours a month via SRM, JRM, etc. Same with the FA's.

Hopefully the adults are in charge now. But the bumps are going to be painful for a lot of very JR pilots in BES's where they shouldn't be. I think the 756 left seaters below 5500 are going to go away when it all settles out. Same with the 787 CA's less than 2200.

Look out below.
