I too was wondering why the number of pairings went up so much. And the ATL 200 is dwindling too. Yes there are some rest rule changes coming up. That proposes a challenge. That is the only staffing challenge I see.
The ATL 700/900 pairings went up because 2 more PQ tail 900s were delivered in Febuary and have hit the line. 5 of the 12 are on property, all 12 on property by May. Projected lines for March up from 160 to 200. Block hours down on the 700/900 from last year? I doubt that since we have more 700/900s then last year.
