What I said is it would make a lot more sense to transition 900ish 190 guys to the 320 and 220 than put a bunch of people in an untrained (or even trained) 190 status, requiring 2 months of training to a new status once they are needed in the fleets that will stay at jetblue.
If everyone is 320/220 qual’d on lower ALVs and flying a lot less, with credit caps, everyone stays flying, reserves still get used, and people are trained and in the seat/equipment needed to match demand recovery as it happens, which isn’t the case if they are 190 and maybe/maybe not even trained. Then we’d still have the need to transition them and eat the training float when revenue generating pilots are actually needed on the line and not in the sim.
Also, there is a lot of cost savings to be had by eliminating the 190 fleet.
We will likely find out in the next week or so...

Look these are all great ideas. I personally like the dude who said sone thing about pay or blah blah garbage garbage. (Didn’t really read the whole post) Interesting theory on paper except for the fact that the email says “no changes to CBA pay” or something like that.
AAL merger seems super legit too.
but let’s be honest. They are gunna take our CSPP money. That’s the significance of the May 1 date. Stop your cspp now!

And I’m all for speculation of ideas and discussing the pros and cons or validity of each, hence why I come on here lol.
And at this point in 2020, I don’t think anything they tell us regarding the LOA, NDA, plan, etc. would be unexpected, no matter what it is. Even if it included murder hornets or Ebola bunnies.

Nope, totally allowed to. Just wanted to state my reason for editing my response.
