Looking at the SAM, if they train this out then, and we lose 300 retirements (those are minimums) then we'd be 300 pilots less than we are with virtually the same amount of flying. Unless we sold airplanes our crew ratio would start to look more like it did during Covid. You're assuming they get rid of airplanes that they aren't yet planning to get rid of. That could happen or things could pick back up and we could be completely slammed and way undermanned. Either could happen.
