I suggest you listen to some webinars as it's been clearly explained multiple times how in the current situation LWOP will not affect the VR/CR numbers.
Ok, so if these numbers are known then why are they not communicated? If as you say the company have x number of pilots in line for VR/CR regardless of how many take LWOP, if it’s so black and white, why don’t they state those numbers? If it’s the 190 then that will probably be absorbed by VR.
LWOP most definitely takes care of a surplus. That’s exactly what happened post GFC. The surplus was solved by pilots scattering everywhere over the planet. Again, given the option of offering more LWOP vs paying CR why would the company take the CR path?
