If I’m not mistaken we have around 940 on some kind of leave this month, so again I can’t see 750-1000 being a realistic number for anything longer than 6 months (although we are also lightening schedules with RBB). But, reserve utilization is rather heavy right now.

I’m not sure I buy the wall st fear-mongering either. Maybe, they’re just trying to paint a glum picture so more take it.

With all that said the best outcome would be max participation, keep people off the street. One thing we haven’t heard is, what is the plan if we don’t get enough. Reduced guarantee? I think that prospect might tip the scales for some folks. If guarantee is reduced to 65 hours a senior captain who stays could be working a full schedule for an additional 3.4 hours of pay per month. Incentive line guarantee 50 hours + (40 days vacation @ 3.5 credit/12 months)=61.6 Hours. Why wouldn’t you take this deal?
