Get used to the stagnation until a new order is imminent or we reach 7 crews per A/C instead of the current 8.5.
You don't believe in the instructor hooey but you make up your own assumption that the usual summer slowdown is because of PBS which is still like 8 months away? lmao. And what source are you getting this number that staffing levels will decrease from 8.5 to 7 with PBS? Not saying you are wrong but I have not seen one person in the actual know quoted as saying as such. PBS is a bidding system for already made trips not a magical staffing reducer.
