Come next fall, if/when they reduce flying for the Winter Schedule, they'll go back to having reservs that only fly 20-30 hours a month.
I agree with you - you take those points you made, add in a modification to the TLV for the M88 or other shorted fleets like they did a few years ago. Poof: Summer '13 flying covered.
