Honestly I think 4k pilots who change on a monthly basis will be difficult to plan. At the moment the planning department knows that they can place any pilot on any fleet, which gives them more variables to puzzle with. If they split the freighter and pax they reduce the variables but it will be steady as they have a pool of pilots for pax and one on freighter. If that pools then changes on a monthly basis, I can imagine that it will be very difficult for planning, but correct me if I;m wrong. 2 years may seem a bit over the top, which could maybe be reduced but Id say nothing less than a year.
I do see your point though. I assume the planning here is done automatically but I'm not sure about that.
