Being one of them, that's exactly what I wondered.

To be honest, though, I would be really surprised with pilot-cutting in flying billets. UPT production is actually going UP for the first time in two years (due to a trough a few years back). We're short-handed; involuntary separations would make it worse.

I think they'll try to cut guys who have retirement planned in the next 6 months; guys who have been twice passed-over. Just my guess.
