its down a bunch now. They have already started thinning it out. I believe the staffing on the freight side is around 200. If they plan on getting rid of the freighters, than 12 months would be plenty of time for them allow bid offs or displace as the pull down happens. The shortage we were going to have may end up being a wash depending on a couple factors. Fortunately we had a shortage coming up that can absorb the pull downs.
