The only question is how will the company issue the accompanying vacancy.
It happened when the Saab, ATR left and it happens when a base closes. It's going to happen.
The Company could possibly offer more money to displaced pilots to those that bid to stay in the same equipment to cut down on training cycles.
Ok fair enough in regards to displacements happening but I have a feeling that the senior Captains are mostly flowing or switching to another fleet prior to the closing of the fleet. That leaves us the DEC captains they are placing, which should they get displaced will not effect many as they are not senior enough. Most likely end up on something in LGA.
This leaves the senior FO’s, again most I think are smart enough to proffer into something else and get off that system altogether. Hopefully the company won’t place new FO’s on the CRJ anymore and that problem slowly takes care of itself.
So to sum up, if displacements do occur I think they will be minor in terms of impacting all but the DEC’s.
