You mean all that open time that used to be flown by the 30% reserves we used to have to staff every category, when we had a 75hr. cap?
We are down to less than 20% reserves required, because now that there is no 75hr. cap, guys can white slip up to ALV+15, and they can swap a 10hr. 2 day for a 30hr. 4 day, and get well over 100 hr. month.
Yeah, that probably has no effect...
