If the block hours were reduced to only need 180 Ca it would make no sense that they carry 245 bodies when they were able to get away with carry 10 over min the year before. Or am I missing something.
I am not saying you are missing anything. I was discussing the staffing models. Of note is this is a May 2012 report. I would suspect that the ones going forward will show an increase in staffing as the whales come out of mods.
Also MAC flying is generally not known and therefore not included in the block hr and staffing plans.
