I'm not sure what's up with the 88B RES in ATL but the utilization is way up from a year ago. I can't believe how many guys are in bucket 2 and 3 in one of our slowest months of the year. A year ago many reserves didn't work, this year it's not uncommon to see greenslips going out for the 88B's from time to time.

IMO the hiring question will be painfully clear to management by the end of the summer.
