As far as things go for AE, we operate a total of 308 aircraft. Announcement was for parking 35-40 RJs and "additional turboprops." So that means a large chunk of our flying will be decreased. We have about 3000 pilots total and crew about 5 CAs and 5 FOs per a/c. There hasnt been any official word on how many displacements and furloughs are ahead, but you can do the math. We have been losing about 50-60 pilots/month in the past to go to other carriers, but since every other major and regional has stopped hiring I doubt we will have much attrition to solve the ensuing over staffed situation.
