Plus it gives the air group bragging rights in ATL about cutting unit costs since the excess IPA pilots can easily pick up the slack, and they also have additional reserves if needed as they can cancel future RDG. And the junior guys having dodged the bullet will be grateful to have a job (and no more reduced pay since RDG will be cancelled-returned to full pay) they will have far better attitudes than the MRB writing/higher cost drones that will soon hit the street. PLUS the remaining magazine straighteners will cower for their lives!

You heard it here first...
This is also very likely. Davis seems to be set on reducing. I have encountered gateway managers with sour attitudes due to management cuts and they talk about further cuts, not happy and they are nervous.
