Also if DAL wants to furlough CPS is only required to train 20 month which means it could take 18 months to flush their list. DAL can still put 500-1000 on the street in very short order, and it will take (those that will not be flushed through) a long long time before they will be working for Compass.
Correct.
That CPZ flow is the detail that makes all of this up to debate. DAL knows the limitations of this flow and the requirements of it. Flush the list, fine save money on the front end, but as they recall DAL will pay for the PCS training in the back end. That is unless we give up the flow for more pay on lets say the 777. Then we could let the company furlough a lot easier and without all of those nasty costs.
Even if they decided to furlough, I do not see them getting rid of may of these "76 seat" jets. We will grieve it and when it is settled we will get a dinner at Arby's or something like that.
