DW also commented [blah, blah, blah.] DW claims there are only about 100 guys that by hanging around are adding to the problem of the regression in seats and in the grand scheme of a pilot group of over 4500 that is not the main crux of the problem.
This guy is beyond belief!
Look at the # of excessed Capts. 30 on the Boeing, roughly 40 on the Bus and 40 on the MD (DC10 excesses don't count, they are included in the Bus and MD)
About 110 excessed Capts (pretty close to 100, and I bet DW was low-balling the #).
They of course excess to lower seats, causing excesses there, and so on until you are at the bottom. A nice set of dominos from DW. If affects ALOT more than 100 folks as DW apparently implied.
