There has to be some type of disconnect between V when she is doing the DVR and what is really in base??
Good news is that maybe MSP will have some reserves next month, bad news is we still won't be able to improve our schedules with drops or trades.
This is a wide spread anomaly right now, ORD is the same, we have something like 165 CA listed on the new DVR, I know 1-125 are qualified, the rest are in IOE, theres a few that are coming to ORD that are in TRG and then some that got awarded. Some people are on the seniority list from the moment they join class, some aren't till midway through IOE, its not a conspiracy that they think some will pass and some will fail its just the way it happens. For some reason they are dumping 42 FOs in MSP on the new DVR I think we can all agree that something is happening in ORD and MSP, staffing is way up.
I would say we are getting United flying in the very near future, part of the 18 they added, I would speculate at least 10 of those are going to LAX since no one has mentioned anything about displacing the crews that were flying the Eagle stuff there.
I would also suggest that American flying is very likely on the 175 with the uncertainty of RAH.
