I though AAG was watching spending?

You realize this is abornal right? Normal 121 training footprint is roughly 2 months. This place has had years to put the right pieces in place to correct this and they have not.

If I had to make an educated guess base on the facts we have at hand, we will end up being no more than a 800 pilot airline with a healthily staffed reserve.
~350 Pilots in PHL
~150 Pilots in CLT
~150 Pilots in DCA (Taking over some of the TSA flying) as per the Newsletter.
60 airplanes, which we are due to finish taking deliveries of in February per the Flight ops department during the MEC meeting in June.
We’re done growing. Look at the writing on the wall, the premium pay is gone.
