Even with the generous peak leveling relief we gave them in the recent contract, I'm just not seeing how things will be covered in many categories, even with lots of green slips.!
Right now in many categories, reserve issues are on the weekends. Weekday coverage seems quite sufficient.
But I'm confident that the company will "constructively engage" ALPA, and weekend "reserves required" will be increased significantly. After all, "it's good for us," and "we'll get them next time."
