From the end 2008 2 aircraft arriving a month.
Well, this is maybe the big gamble.
They send home the Alteon guys, allthough about 60 instructors short on the T7. They stop transitions from the Bus. How to cope for training then? My bet is on takin' in the orders at a reduced rate. This will compensate for the attrition and lower influx. They will certainly prefer this as opposed to upping the conditions to attract the effectively required number of pilots and instructors.
Just do the math on such a scenario and the new FOs will sit stuck for 5 years plus.
