I'm only an amateur bean counter but the biggest number I heard is that we are about 300 pilots fat. For arguement sake say we were 1000 pilots fat. 1000 pilots * 68 BLG = 68000 hours a month. Spread this over the entire crew force of 4766 pilots, 68000/4766=14.26 hours. Meaning if we were 1000 pilots fat the BLG would be reduced from 68 to 53 (68-14.26). Even with this gross exageration of excess pilots and crazy rounding I don't see FedEx pilots hitting the streets. However, I'm just a novice bean counter and the sky may actually be falling.
