What do you think that does to the need for pilots?
Yes and gaining 767s and 777s to replace them. I agree there will probably be a net loss of jets if the market continues like this but generally with down turns there are then upswings that exceed the down turns. If the airplanes sit they cost money that eats into profit. I agree 100% that this is bad, but it's not the end of the world either. We lose 2 jets over this bid and in 20 months things could be much better or worse than they are now economically. I'd be willing to bet that this time next year we're actually hiring to replace pilots who leave for greener pastures.
