Correct - SB20 driver.
For the others: Their information is half correct. There were much less dismissals than previous expected, the figure went down to about 300, and not 500. The reason is according rumour the consultant company which calculated a crew factor of 7 (even 10 would be not enough because the high training rate).
You also have to add the some 30 pilots who will be trained on the Airbus 320 Swiss Sun - which was granted to the Ex-Crx after the last war between the unions.
Also A318 would have to be flown by Ex-Crx, at least according to the contract.
There are 3 A340 now on the flight line.

The rest is correct.
