If everyone is 320/220 qual’d on lower ALVs and flying a lot less, with credit caps, everyone stays flying, reserves still get used, and people are trained and in the seat/equipment needed to match demand recovery as it happens, which isn’t the case if they are 190 and maybe/maybe not even trained. Then we’d still have the need to transition them and eat the training float when revenue generating pilots are actually needed on the line and not in the sim.

Also, there is a lot of cost savings to be had by eliminating the 190 fleet.

We will likely find out in the next week or so...
