Can anyone give an update on how many planes and pilots are at each domicle?

Open up your iPad. Go to comply, check the recent op specs revision. Count the number of aircraft on the op specs. You'll see it's right around 60.

We have, depending on the day a few reserves in each base. Key phrase depending on the day...most days last month we did have a few reserves on each side. This month it's been hit or miss, once again, depending on the day.

So do the math...we have maybe 420 ACTIVE line pilots. That's 7 crews/airplane. You have 15 planes to go with the ability to still park some of our current ones, I believe.

15 x 7 = 105 pilots at the current levels we are, which is enough to run an airline. Figure another 150 pilots for attrition. That number doesn't include those still in training. We may be tight on staffing, but the airline is going to keep turning whether you like it or not.

Did you not look at the performance numbers last month? We cancelled flights mainly for weather and/or maintenance. Not crews.

Do your homework first. Until you give some real numbers, you're just running your mouth.

Buy them a ticket seriously. Otherwise they'll be in the terminal all day. They have to pay a base fee per leg. Plus $50.00 each person each year for enrollment.
