JMHO. I'd LOVE to be proved wrong.
I have seen some throw a 1-1.8 billion dollar savings out there for PBS.
Reserves are down about 20%
We are flying about 60-65 hrs per pilot per month, that was in the 40's
I have no hard number but I am guessing our contract costs about three billion a year less for about 2000 more pilots.
