This is inaccurate information. This means that NEXT month, there is enough flying in DEN for 152 FO's, the other 8 will get reserve lines. February could see more flying, or less, the number of pilots required may vary. There is little to zero correlation between how many people flow out and are replaced; if UAL decides to move Tranny or GJ more towards midwest flying again, DEN will see a jump. If we shrink, they'll let DEN attrit naturally, and NO ONE gets put in as people leave. It's a crapshoot. Also, January and February are historically the lowest block hour months of the year, so if there are only 8 reserves now, DEN could see an increase in staffing as we move towards spring so there are reserves for the high months. Possibly.
