Even if we have no plans to add more CRJ flying, you will have CA's that transition and ones that are leaving. There will still be upgrades in the CRJ. Attrition has slowed this month and we do have a bunch of pilots waiting for IOE.

But none of that really matters since they have conditioned us to not expect any relief in the form of reserves or schedule enhancement. If you can't drop trips or get vacation with 50 reserves in DEN, it doesn't matter how many we hire or upgrade. Min reserve numbers increase because reliability is in the toilet. I wonder if the two are connected in any way??
