Getting on with a major is extremely difficult, it appears more 121 pilots are being hired at mainline vs 135/91.
Currently the reserves are being flown almost daily. Anytime I look ord and dfw emj are 0. However it's summer, and it seems like thunderstorms hit both places almost daily. Regardless it appears we are below the correct staffing level. If fall doesn't have a sizable reduction in block hours my guess is this will continue.
