I'd plan 4-6 months for reserve on the Saab. Hopefully it will be shorter, but you should be prepared. We are going to be fat on Saab crews. I have heard that utilization is going to increase, but that has not manifested into the schedule yet. May bid packs will be out on April 12, so we'll see what happens.
