So you senior pilots, please start thinking of scope so us younger, low seniority pilots have a place to go on property (ie.76 seat jets) while you can still hopefully maintain your seats and pay.
The cuts in question are mostly normal for the fall. There will be very little if any downward movement for a winter flying reduction. The cuts beyond the normal Atlantic cuts will only be a few percent. Note with the official announcement today the effect on the stock price. Wall street wants reductions. We will spin every reduction in the press into more then it is.
