It seems like Imapilot may be fluent in an ancient language known as Gibberish!

Thanks!
The 22D2 only shows active line pilots, the 22D3 includes management pilots, instructors, MLOA, STD, LTD pilots. THey in essense provide two different types of info, and you cannot compare them to each other. At least that's what I remember from 8 years ago.

Thats what happens at the computer with BEER!!! I should never drink and type. What I was trying to say was what a difference there was in the three different airlines reactions to the current oil problems. UAL stopped classes abrubtly(last minute, very little warning), NWA sent everyone in their last class to sit FE cargo reserve out of Alaska and Delta opened many ac and bases for its new hires to choose from. So the new hires at Delta didn't get a crap sandwich shoved in their face. IE Treated better. Reflecting a previous post about the way that Delta treats it's new hires. Again, maybe its just coincidence that this all happened this way.

The 22D2 report is based on the minimum number of pilots to meet the contractual obligations for each category. The actual staffing for each (I believe is 22D3) is what you can plan each category to have in it. The 22D2 report is always lower since it is the minimum threshold required to meet our contract. The actual staffing will always be higher due to leaves, training, vacations, etc. In essence, the 22D2 report really means nothing to regular line pilots. The 22D3 is what we should be concerned with. I got this from Crew Planning a couple of days ago.
