… 4000 is probably deeper than what the 1 Oct cut will be. Move that number to 2500 - now how many 737 PIs are furloughed?
A 2500 cut gets about 30-35 PIs on 737.
My best GUESS for those not trained on aircraft 8-10 weeks to start teaching some qual lessons, much longer till fully qualified for all PI events. For all the events that required FAA observation before teaching, months before fully quailed. For the next year, my guess is they need all the instructors they can get on 737.
Just my best guess.
