You are gonna have to 'splain that one to me.. The issue that needs changing in THIS particular regard is the required/available section. The company has the advantage to use a reserve to cover from any base at no harm/no foul. That way they can overstaff someplase.. like ATL.. and understaff someplace else.. like NY. So NY lineholders cannot drop, but the company has the base covered with a 2 hour deadhead... IT's crap, and needs to be changed. If the system wide reserve availabiity is good for the company, it should be good enough for us.
