Also I'm assuming we are ONLY talking about pilots displaced into LCR, not every LCR. Even if it were every LCR there aren't enough out there to really impact staffing by picking up trips.
Days went critical plenty during the month. That's how I used to make money. I watched it closely and have been still watching it.
Also, often it just takes one pilot picking up a trip to prevent a day from going critical (if we have a hard staffing number on the reserve grid that doesn't change as reserves change).
