That was always the plan. The Jan 31 and May 1 bids were to ramp up for the summer flying schedule. The fall schedule sees a reduction in the Bus. The Airbus is going to have continued reductions, starting from the next bid that opens SFO Boeing. This was from the CP conference call when he was asked if it was inefficient to be doing this with the Airbus fleet (upgrade, transition people only to have them reduced).

August 2022 Bus fleet between 34-42 but by August 2023 it is 20-23. No matter which way you slice it, they had to increase the staffing on the Bus through this Summer and now start displacing it. I would hope anyone who bid it did so knowing they would be displaced.
Dec 2023 is 10-14 Buses.

Could be they just set the table so they could ramp up for summer if needed. Even with omicron, general consensus is that omicron will be over with as a wave in a few months.

Because you don’t understand how it works… Effective date🙄. They can still train and still fly as a CA all summer and then their effective reduction would be September 1, which they could also extend 60 days longer if they needed them. I am not going to argue it’s the best way, but the bus departure is going to produce some weird outcomes over the next 18mos. This summer is a bandaid. We will have 10 Airbus on property by late fall of 2023.
