Leave a thread for twenty four hours and look where it ends up.

Common Ty, you can drink 'em pretty!!! Just make sure you are not there in the morning.

Chewing off one's arm to quietly slip away has major career implications.

There's always the hope that they can get skinny later. . . . There's no chance with Ugly; it goes all the way to the bone. :laugh:

Beauty's only a light switch away.

Indeed ...... Perhaps chewing off their arm, might be the smarter choice.

Traditional WN pilot staffing is 10.2 pilots/airframe. Based on that number we would need 7140 pilots to staff a combined fleet of 700 airframes which leaves us overstaffed by roughly 700 pilots in 2015 with the roughly 200 WN retirments factored in. That is IF you buy into a flat fleet which I don't. It will take until mid 2020 for the WN retirements to get us down to that staffing number. How many millions of dollars do you really think the company is willing to spend training and employing excess pilots to sit around and fly very little just to save face and say that "we've never furloughed" ? 700 extra F/Os cost over $100 MILLION per year.

Don't forget the savings from 350 downgraded captains, Jack.

Yawn . . .

You remind me of the Economist who has predicted 8 of the last 3 recessions. :laugh:

Keep clinging to the furlough hope, it may come true.


Not.

GBJ, 700 overmanned at SwA is what we are every year due to schedule flexing, this is old news. What's your next furlough argument?

Well, we all nibbled at the bait and gave him what he wanted....
