And then even with a 10% downgrade of CAs, there will be a significant imbalance of CAs to FOs where CAs largely outnumber the FOs.
So I think the numbers we're looking at is between 400-500 FOs to be furloughed and 170 CAs to be downgraded if this post renders true.
400 or so first year is 72x97x400 = 2.793M
100 second year 72x142x100 = 1.022M
100 four year captains 72x109x100= .785M
70 five year captains 72x109x70= .550M
5.150M of straight hourly rate cost savings per month. No idea what they’d save on taxes, benefits, and the individual cost to re qual furloughed pilots later down the road to weigh against.
