115 + 260 + 155 = 530 crews
530*2 = 1060 pilots
there you have it fellas
Comair will be at 1000 pilots
Nice. So CVG will be 12 years just to stay in the left seat? We're going to have about 350 current captains fighting over those 115 JFK captain slots.
I also wonder how many of the 235 "losing" captains will be happy going to the right seat after being in the left seat for the last 6-10 years?
Looks like it will take 6+ years just to remain a CVG FO.
Our assistant chief pilots will all be gone. Three of our chief pilots will become assistant chief pilots.
