well 60 a/c * 15 pilots/aircraft = 900 pilots.
the numbers in the company right now are 800 something.
So are you saying that they are understaffed???
one of my friends got inducted in Feb this year ..and is done with his training and also his supy. For the last two months, he is at home and is waiting for his checks for the right seat. He says it's going to take a very long time.
he also says the average flying per month has come down to 50-55 hours per month, which used to be 70-80 earlier.
i think 15 per a/c is too high a number. i don't see why they would require more than 2+2+2 (for the 3 domestic sorties daily) + additional 2 (as stand by) = 8 or max 10 per a/c
