I don't think having C series pilots on standby to train would be that expensive for the first year.

They can't have a one year bid in Nov. They can't train and send you back to your original equipment. I also omitted that not only can a pilot with a canceled AE take any position he could have held in that AE but he can take any unconverted position from prior AE's. As I said if they post a Cseries bid in Nov they are serious.

Korean's first delivery was scheduled for September - they hope to now get one "before the end of the year" (4 were scheduled for 2017). Pratt is the delay cause. Even if all the tariff problems were to go away, I think initial bidders will sit a while longer since Pratt won't be well by March...

22.D.11 says once per calendar year but the bid also has to contain a displacement.
