You have to assume that the reason the BLG is going down is because there are too many pilots to do the existing flying. Lowering the BLG allows more lines to be built with less flying on each line, so everyone works and we don't have to furlough. If I'm off on this, someone please feel free to set me straight. Thanks.
It would redistribute the flying to a group of pilots larger than we have now.
We still have to fly our system form, ie we must still fly to all of the cities that we currently service at the rate that we currently service them. I don't think Fedex will go tell Omaha, Flint, Spokane and Tuscon, sorry you cannot have Fedex service anymore, we have too many pilots.....
