Please check my math...
7 new airplanes is 77 pilots (someone said we staff at 11 per airplane.) So, 150 downgrades - 39 Captains (about half of 77) is 111 downgrades. Meaning 222 furloughs.
I ask again (more hypothetical than anything), so what has the union been up to in order to reduce these numbers even further? I've asked the reps, but got no definitive answers.
