He also stated a few times that there is no way to run the airline on the minimum staffing formula and they know that. The accountants say over by XXX, and that might not be the real number..

He emphasized that when speaking about staffing, you have to be a little fuzzy, because that's what frames the picture.

I agree, if we ran the airline at PBS min staffing we would not be running an airline. That is as low as they can go, and normally operate well above it

This bid sets the company up well for growth or further reductions. It was another non committal realignment.
