Default SWA pilot question with decrease system

Recent articles say that SWA will cut capacity by 7.5% in a few months compared to a year ago - it's already come down some. So how is this affecting your monthly lines? Are you still flying/guaranteed the same and just plus up the reserves or have their been any reductions?

thx

The lines are at guarantee. Although I have been at 100+ all year. The FO reserves are still used almost everyday.

Some of the bid lines are below the guarantee in terms of actual work, but the company is still abiding by the contractual minimums.
