We’re overstaffed overall, not just with CAs. The displacement bid is correcting the CA over staffing and loss of the 190. Even with that we are overstaffed for our current flying we’re doing. Either way I don’t see taking a hard stand on VILs as being productive or leading to anything meaningful for the pilot group. Quite possibly the exact opposite. We shall see. Moving on.
