its 7 more stoki, not 11. We just lost 4, 7 more are expiring later this year for a total of 11.
Right now we have 458 on the CA+FO list (not including leaves) with 55 A/C. Thats 8.3 pilots per aircraft to maintain our current 'fat' staffing levels. So a loss of 4 aircraft would mean ~33 pilots would be getting bumped in order to maintain the same staffing level that we have now.
A loss of 7 more would be an additional 58 pilots, bringing our potential total up to 91.
Considdering how heavy we are on reserves, I wouldn't be surprised to see even more than that.
It ain't right - the most cost effective airplane in the Airways fleet and here we are giving them back.
