I don't expect peak to be ugly at all. They managed last year without any major incident. They've hired this year which has helped crew staffing. They also over scheduled our trips with extra legs, especially the 757, to pick up any extra freight that normally couldn't be handled during peak with our normal schedule. And they will slam us with lots of hotel standbys.
During the summer my phone rang constantly with draft calls. I haven't been called in over a month now despite our flying picking up.
Peak will be just fine.
