We are scheduled to operate 102 aircraft by the end of the year. 1300-1400 pilots is just too many based on our historic utilization. 1200 is a plausable number. If we are really, truly going to 1300-1400, then they (HR) knows something that we don't.
10 CREWS?! I think you mean 10 pilots. The number I use is actually 11 to include a % for reserves and management/FTI's etc. 102 x 11 = 1122 pilots. That is just my guess. If we get more CRJs, it certainly could go to 1400.
