I know the next class would have to finish training so enough people would be available to be on reserve.
Honestly, I should... er, my friend should stop speculating so much and just see how things go.
Which base are you talking?? Because 7 spots from holding a line in MCI where they give out 40 is a lot different than 7 away from a like in LGA where they give out 110. These are just made up numbers but you get the point.
But yes the theory you are getting at is correct. Summer has more flying, as in more flights scheduled by codeshares and then operated by us. So somebody who is that close now and gets off IOE in the middle of summer will likely hold a line quickly. But what happens in October- November when flying goes back down?? Things might change for that person. You dig?
