Numbers
"AIN asked how many new A380 pilots he will need this year: “The numbers change all the time. We have around 1,100 pilots for 67 aircraft on the A380.
the senoritylist tells something differnet:
if I am write we operate 83 A380 and the list says we have actual 729 commander, which is a crew factor of 8,8 (which is a stable number the last recent month)
further we have 759 first officers; crew factor 9,2 also a stable number
the provided 1100 over 67 would be 16.5 which would be double, yes the mentioned DCP calculates with the double amount of pilots
1100 pilots over the 83 A/C would be 13,5 that is already 50% more pilots and a would be a dramatic relieve for every body
