Which another reason why the company can’t WAIT for the transition to AQP. That will free up simulators another 33% as well. The training pipeline will open up considerably which will be important when existing pilots are moved from dying or dead fleets to the new(ish) metal.
The company figured out EXACTLY how extract more work out of fewer pilots and did so pretty cheaply. It’s working...
Although last tour for me was a whopping 11.7 hours of credit. No fatigues. No write ups. They crew swapped us rather than let us hit the magic number. What. Ever.
