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.
FWIW, 65 of the displaced Captains were supposed to go back to the 70 - dunno how many of those 65 get to stay in the left seat now.
At least Comair won't be bumping 70 guys to the 50 (in theory)...
Still waiting for a voluntary furlough announcement.
