I am not trying to be argumentative but I hope someone can explain this to me. How do they say they are growing the 757 FO by 180?
Bid 20-02 MIN/MAX was CA 384/384 FO 322/322
Bid 21-01 MIN/MAX was CA 399/404 FO 392/392
Bid 23-01 MIN/MAX is CA 384/412 FO 362/362
I know the bid shows 182 currently but the plane is staffed in the right seat. A lot of those have awards elsewhere and that's how they get the 182 number, but the fleet isn't growing. It is shrinking from 21-01 and just a little growth since 20-02 in the FO seat. CA is basically the same all 3 bids. It's just that the 180 FO deficit is going to come from seniority list pilots and not new hires. Again, not trying to start an argument I just don't see how they are calling it growth.
