Less airplanes doesn't always mean less flying. My question is that when we park the 20 RJs next year how much block time will we lose? If (BIG IF) we park the planes and lose ZERO hrs of block time then staffing will still be fine. Just means that the other 90 RJs will have to pick up the slack. Same can be said for the opposite, 110 RJs and a drastic cut in block hours leads to furloughs. (make is short and simple) I do agree with JP that I doubt there will be 200 ppl furloughed. I think this summer is proof of that. If what the memo said is true then, then this is going to be ASA biggest summer flying in a long while. Where did this extra flying come from? Why ASA? What is going on with the DCI carriers? All questions we don't know and can only wait to see. Now if ASA does another 2 for 1 deal then we are in trouble. I forgot who was it I was talking to at ASA, either CP or ALPA MEC, but they told me that ASA based their staffing on block hours.

Just my $.02
