Thats right get rid of the senior ppl, before you furlough to trim the fat. Just like any other airline that has ever had extra pilots on the roster.
Whydo you think it has nothing to do with a merger?Why have 3 wholly owned regionals with 3HR's,3 payrolls,3 managements,3 training depts,3mx ,3 pass depts,ect when they could combine and get rid of lots of layers or overlap?
