While Spirit hasn’t mentioned any Workforce reduction yet I was curious if a captain is to be downgraded what is the process to down grade and then the process once you eventually upgrade again. Is it a simple sim session in the right seat to get qualified in the right seat? Then when you up grade is it a whole PC check, then any OE? Fed ride again? Bogota route again?

The reason I’m asking, if Spirit thinks this workforce reduction may not be more than a couple months I wonder if it would be financially worth it not to downgrade anybody also not tie up any resources for the process just a downgrade and then upgrade somebody for a few months.

asking for a friend.
