Many on here need to go to a roadshow. The airline is only perfectly staffed for two months of the year, July and August, and then we are over staffed for the rest of the year. There were plenty of lines given this past spring and winter worth less than 70 hours. That is unproductive for the company, and for line holders. The TA won't cause every reserve to fly 99 hours a month, but it will give more certainty about getting a line to bottom line holders.

How about the part about getting rid of trip parking? In the TA, you'd have to send the parked trip back through PCS first, allowing everyone a chance at the trip. That is another gain in this TA some overlook.
