Getting very close to desired levels before going into reduction mode. Closer to the middle of summer. And by that time there will be fewer places to go as the stove piping of the seniority list will be closer to reality. And they can start training immediately after the tertiary bid. As the downgrades are short courses. And they can bump nb captains to similar seniority levels on both Boeing and Airbus
Ill just say the company’s master plan we will see in the near future seldom goes as they plan. That includes parking two fleets post 9/11 or parking the 400 in more recent times.
Everyone just take a deep breath and wait for the forthcoming announcement. The company just recently pushed the May 1st town hall to the 5th for a reason.
While I’m not privy to the discussions between the union and the company I can tell you they are going on.
Rather than try to sharpshoot the answer wait for it. It might surprise you.
And, what individual pilots elect to do will surprise them. Then round two comes.....
