Anyone have an idea of how many, approximately, this will equate to?
Here is the logic I used, please let me know if my thinking/math is flawed.

(While considering the amount of flying as a constant)
Currently on the NYCM88B, December had 52 REG line holders at an ALV of 82:00. Now for January the ALV is being reduced to 72:30 which I believe will raise the number of REG lines by 7-9 to a total of 60 REG line holders.

52 x 82:00= 4,264:00 REG hours in Decemeber

January Estimate based on December REG hours:
4,264:00 / 72:30 = 58.8 ~ Approximately 59 REG lines


Sound right to you guys? Also why does the company shift the ALV times? I'm sure there is a good reason I'm just not bright enough to connect the dots.
