So this is how it goes. I get a text... Big downgrade bid coming... I ask where how many Captains? I get A320SFO/LAX, 120 Captains... So that is what I post. I get Company is 18% over staffed on pilots, company is anticipating furloughing 12.5%. I ask what are the chances? I get back 90%. I break out my calculator 3080 - 12.5% = 385. I ask... Any idea when the bid will post? Get back... “should be Thursday, there seems to be some confusion though, I don’t think anyone is playing nice at this point.”.... Does the union know there is a surplus of pilots.... “yes they were told”... Do you get it ElastaGirl321
