It sounds to me like surplus of crews for 11 aircraft for a year or so..depending on delivery schedule.
The good news is...all this is 2 years away and much can change by then so as to keep everyone employed.
Good luck to all.
Well, almost...
We will finish taking delivery of the current order by May 2011, which will be 29 total Q400's on property. The next set of 15 aircraft (options only at this point) are for summer / fall 2011. If we exercised these options (which are not for CAL) we would then have a total of 44. Then in 2013 we have options for 15 more just for CAL. That would be a total of 59, I don't know if/when we're getting a replacement aircraft for 3407.
Clear as mud?
