Trying to forecast your manning levels 24 months out is foolhardy. This is why no one else in the industry does it.

All these management ploys will only ever result in sugar highs for the stock. Wall Street only rewards growth and innovation. Tesla doesn't have to layoff people and play numbers games to increase the value of their stock because they're growing and innovating and their leadership (seems) competent. Their stock price has been stratospheric. Meanwhile back in Memphis.......

Don't make any decisions based on this being the future. The world didn't change in the last 6 months

MX,

I looked at your numbers and think I found an error. You show 75FM at 362 for Min/Max Staffing from the FCIF, but then you have 468 immediately below that in both spots. This gives a total of 5624. If you subtract out the extra 106 there you'll get back to the 5518 total I keep coming up with. And, being lazy I hadn't run the numbers in the current staffing levels, I was using the seniority number of 6009 being highest I could find so I had assumed we were 500 over manned. So if 5518 is correct (but maybe it isn't I just don't know where you got the additional numbers), then it looks like the numbers are 298 overstaffed using Min and 28 understaffed using Max.

Looking at the SAM, if they train this out then, and we lose 300 retirements (those are minimums) then we'd be 300 pilots less than we are with virtually the same amount of flying. Unless we sold airplanes our crew ratio would start to look more like it did during Covid. You're assuming they get rid of airplanes that they aren't yet planning to get rid of. That could happen or things could pick back up and we could be completely slammed and way undermanned. Either could happen.
