im not disagreeing with the excess pilot story ‘mate’( a term I really don’t like throwing around, especially as I doubt you and I would fall into that category) the fact that they are going into ‘storage’, and as you quit correctly stated, pilots are not geniuses, so, in case you cannot keep up, straight off Wikipedia is defined as:
”
storage
noun- the action or method of storing something for future use.”
The excess pilot pool will no doubt exist, it could be temporary, possibly permanent, who knows, one thing is for certain, they won’t deal with that until they have a better idea. As for LIFO, no point kicking a dead horse, that point has been discussed. Ask your EK/QR/BA ‘mates’ how that is working out for them...
