serious question - was this massive realignment in their plans all along and now with the virus they have the opportunity to execute it with the government paying the salary of the people una
then hire everyone back with where they want the planes?
it’s gonna suck if we have positive news coming and people still all have to relocate and train.
but that’s the business we are

I believe that the realignment was the plan all along, but they would have done it more slowly as long as planes were still full and at least covering their costs.

That all changed and the govt started paying the payroll, so they figured they should rip it all off like a band-aid now and set this air line up to be an all airbus fleet.

Over kill on the UNA, then bring people back as needed. The company gets the added benefit of trying to leverage concessions from the pilots in the mean time.
