That's about 60 people, not 'hundreds'.
2 weeks ago they let go of 8 Capts 1 FO and 8 FE
Last week another 18 - 3 of each
This week, Jerry told me it was 20 Capts, 21 FO, and 20 FE
So thats 100 so far on the B747 Classic.
B747-400 lost a bunch,
B737 is gone.......
More are coming.
The letter I received from the KUL Capt said there were 135 crew in MAY 05 and May 06 were to be 85. I wasn't there, I am only reporting the info.
