Biggs,

Lots of good points. I don't disagree much at all.

But since some of this is speculation and rumor ... I do know that the talk of the training center was that 2 flights were cancelled for no crew on the 400 recently ... FWIW.

Could be they have enough crews, just not where they were needed ? I really don't know. Although I wish I did because as a recent ANC displacee arrival, I'd like to know what's going on for the next 6 months, 12 months 18 months ...

Know what I mean ...
