Are you saying at any given time 1000 pilots are diverted from line operations for training and instructing? You would still have CQ, equipment turnover and schedule seniority related events. Furloughs now, that's funny. Nice attempt at fear mongering.

About 10% of the pilot group is unavailable to fly the line when we are in a growth mode. Once the growth stops we always have a instant surplus of pilots. 1000 might be high but if training events were cut in half it would be 650 pilots plus however many instructors they could furlough back to the line.
My answer was in response to going to all one payrate not multiple bands as United has. We are partially banded already. Shifting to a UAL system would have a minor impact.
