Crew Resources never said they want to get the total pilot group down to that number. Later, they said the plan to have 10,700 active pilots for summer 2021. They provided us with too much info and unfortunately not the actual number we care about... the size of the total pilot group.

I think I also saw that in print, but can’t remember which company piece it was printed. Maybe the Crew Resources Monthly update?
I perceived it as a wedge to pat themselves on the back for “only” displacing 2500 or so to UNA.

Thanks, my peeps. I figured it dated back to April or May when things were the least clear. I do remember 7k briefly being mentioned but once the MOAD came out it was overshadowed by the more realistic 12k they seem to have settled on.
Oh and I don’t think anyone can agree it’s been consistently mentioned so I’ll chalk up his comment as fear-mongering.
