If you go and calculate the number of FOs and Cpts by their seniority the number will be higher. The basic math above is 1800 yr 2 FOs and 1800 yr 10 Cpts. The number will likely be higher since there is maybe only 400 yr 1 and 2 FOs. Doesn’t include going to work 4days and getting minimum 20hrs. So yeah 300million is actually pretty accurate! My numbers were very close to several FOs I’ve flown with that had the common sense to look at this TA and do some math 101
Um, no. Have you taken into account the lack of PTO sell back? The fact that global open time allows for fewer RSA/VDA? The savings from lowering the LTD payout?
Don't worry about the 5 hr calendar day rig, the company will place those into 4-5 day trips with tons of flying on the front to avoid paying for it.
If your math was correct believe me B6ALPA would be shouting it from the rooftops.
