but now let’s look beyond that. Let’s look at the next round that cuts into Captains and WB FOs that can go anywhere. And now let’s look at my REQUAL numbers.....that’s where I say 100 a month becomes a stretch to furlough.

that’s where our disagreement lies....not about the initial furlough number

for example May on the 787 has every single session booked for the entire month with CQ and Landings. There are 3-4 Qual course that need 3-5 sims to finish and a half dozen diff courses as well that need a few more sims to finish. Also it appears atleast for May and June one 4 hour slot a day in every single sim will be blocked for disinfecting.

bottom line is we will need to rob Peter to pay Paul if displacement training needs to start. Before Oct 1

In all fairness not every fleet is as heavily scheduled as the 787 but there certainly isn’t any sims sitting Idle either. Also keep in mind that a lot of 737 instructors fall in the furlough range......that certainly won’t help with training loads either.

Most of those being displaced off of the 756 will only be able to bump down due to reduced WB staffing, and lack of seniority. That alone eliminates a bunch of training bumps and lowers the cost.
