Default Q

All right, after seeing some of the inputs during the course of this thread I've taken a fresh hack at what throughput the TK might be able to achieve. For example, I'll assume only 4 sim periods per day due to extra cleaning. I'll assume the average qual course requires 9 FFS events rather than 7 (meaning most guys will need a full qual course of 10 rides instead of a 7 ride RQ-3). I'll go with 60% qual and 40% CQ, although I think CQ events may drop considerably for the next nine months (seeing as about 1000 out of 3000 current NB CAs will not need CQ after 22 May). One thing I have not tried to guess at is how many FFSs may or may not be required to cover FTD events.

Here's what I come up with:
737 - 2.4 crews per day, so about 72 per month and 288 crews trained by 1 Oct.
Bus - 1.6 crews per day, about 48 per month and 192 by 1 Oct.

These revised numbers are still on the high side compared to what Ugleeual hung out there earlier in this thread (PI insight of 55/mo 737, 37/mo Bus). But I expect the true monthly number will fall somewhere between the 55-72 range (737) and 37-48 (Bus). Seatbelt sign on...
