I think there has to be a great deal of training before the furloughs happen.
You got it. The 27 FO and SO lists will have to be populated by a bunch of current MD 11 and Airbus FOs. The company doesn't have to train the excessed nuggets before those excessed from MEM seats.
It may not look like this with this excess, but you can bet the next one or two excess bids will strive to make this happen.
