For September MSP had 0 reserve lines. So that means yes, every single pilot had a line. ORD has 7 reserve pilots for the entire month. Both bases are being awarded to new hires and yes CS will TDY reserves from other bases into MSP. Or just assign a deadhead into the base to fly and round trip and deadhead home.
Again, CS feels that they are not getting their money out of a reserve pilot unless they fly exactly 75.5 hours per month. Doesn't matter if it takes 16 hour days and all 20 days per month to get that.
