That is basically correct.
Historical at Comair is roughly 11 pilots per airframe.
At 98 airframes, that's 1050-1100 pilots, so at most maybe another 50 or so after these two classes of recalls.
After that it's just attrition, and with all the Comair guys leaving for Delta, the attrition number will be approximately two per year.
How many 50s are we scheduled to park in the next four years - all of them?
