Your alternative is? They can't magically hire instructors and ramp up the training department to just downsize the training department afterwards. I doubt they could ramp up training that quickly now anyhow. It's full of Saab guys in class. I'm gonna bid the last class when I get displaced.

It's better than spending millions in training costs right off the bat for 1/3 of the pilot group transitioning like they did on 11-09.
