SBP CA: 16.7%
SBP FO: 18.2%
SFO CA: 47.3%
SFO FO: 40.1%
For you newbies, these numbers mean that in a given base, x% of those pilots will be on reserve. The historical reserve target is about 20%. In summary, FAT, SFO, and LAX are taking a hosing for the ages.
I can't believe this is all just because of runway construction in SFO, but what do I know?
Wow. So, nearly half of SFO Bro crews will be on reserve, and more than half of LAX FOs? :-0
I don't get it. It's not as if any airline could replace the Bros with RJs on those short routes (SFO-SMF, SFO-MRY, SFO-CIC as examples) and make any money. Yet I cannot imagine airline service suspended entirely to communities like CEC or ACV. But what do I know?
