Interesting times ahead......
TC says we currently have 250 A/C and by 2020 we will receive 76 more. Thats 326 A/C and a forecast of 5800 pilots.

A quick look at the seniority list and you will see 4070 pilots.

4070 ÷ 250 = 16.28 pilots per aircraft today.

5800 ÷ 326 = 17.79 pilots per aircraft in 2020.

Yes, the problem has been identified. Oh wait... the drones Engineering are using for lightning strike checks mean less down time and more aircraft utilisation.

I'll let you guys work out if the message that we are working too hard has reached the top...
