Once again reading comprehension. Go back read the quote in my original post. Look at the
bold in the quote that I am refering to. According to Bored's logic he was saying we have 20% more CA's than FO's(5 ca's/4 fo's). As you can see from the bold in my post(below the quote in my original post) that is not the case. I don't think there is a magical formula how ever it's looking like an industry
average of about 11 pilots per plane is what is shaking out.
17 + 36 + 49 = 102 total airframes x 11 ~1122 pilots. Which we haven't quite got to yet. No silly rumors just simple math.
