Literally every 88A dead man walking I’ve talked to had 7ER on their MD. What kind of throughput is that on the ER per month if training is already allegedly backed up until Aug?
I think that is the reason they are delaying the release. There will be few if any secondaries, but I don’t know if they considered the potential affect of everone displacing to a fleet that is so behind in training. Looks like the 88 will be overstaffed through November now. Well played CR, well played.
Perhaps it would’ve been wiser to have stuck with the MSP downsize they originally announced to guage things rather than the last minute direction change to reduce ATL and have no clue what they would do? Just a thought. Or an even crazier thought would have been to open the C series on this one to allow them to displace to that instead of the ER.
