The net plane loss from this Delta deal is only minus 5 planes though, so their staffing numbers were way off to have to go back and fire pilots from November 07 just for the loss of 5 airframes. I don't think the company can plan on cutting staff due to PBS, we all know how that is going.
You'd be surprised at how much more efficient PBS makes schedules. No more training, carry in, or vacation issues.

I'm sure management knows how many pilots they can cut when PBS is implemented.
