Repost from L&G

Thanks CVG.

If we can change the work rules and get that 45 up to 60, that's 15 hours on average per pilot per month.

Paper napkin math here so be warned...

But if I just do a snap shot of ATL 88 B, DTW 330 B, LAX 73N A and NYC 7ER A, it says on average 19% of our active seniority list is on reserve.

Using the 22D3 number of Nov 12 of 10,596 pilots x 19% you come out with around 2,026 pilots.

2,026 x 45 hours a month is 91,200 hours. As in the amount of flying done by reserve is 91,200 hours. Take 91,200 and divide it by 60 hours and come out with 1,519 pilots.

506 less than we have now, if you can get 45 to 60.
