I understand how a seniority system works, but if they are so concerned about saving money, wouldn't you think they immediately furlough the pilots in training considering they are investing over 50k in a person they will not use?

Just my 2cents, and no I do not wish ANY pilots loose their jobs, considering the wasted time and money I would think they immediately cancel all training classes for new hires pending the outcome of reductions in capacity.

I honestly am of the opinion that this is just a scare tactic of Mr. D.S. and that this whole "reshaping of the airlines" is far from over.
