Not to pile on, but to pile on. If, during the past year, you hired 50 new pilots, but had 50 pilots resign/retire, that would mean you stayed constant at the same staffing level. 100%. Which is obviously different than 100% of all the pilots currently employed leaving. If the later was the case, the airline would shut down because they lost all their pilots. Big difference. Thus concludes our math lesson for today. Class dismissed.
