I was up talking to the union today and asked about the staffing issues. They said it's a combo of the last of the crew transitions from the last bid and that Delta pulled the carpet out from beneath them. Something about Delta temporarily changing a huge number of block hours requiring an impossible plan for staffing. Had something to do with all that unstacking I guess. Who knows though.....
As far as that bucket goes apparently there are a bunch of reserves available but aren't showing in the bucket. I had to call in sick the other day and there were zero guys in the bucket. They had no problem finding a reserve guy to do it and he just came off days off. Guess they are hiding them somewhere.
