Well, If you're smart, you may really read between the lines...long term. Yes you think looking at June and see an opportunity to sit at home. Maybe that works. They also could be running this (AGAIN) at a razor thin margin to get by with the min amount of staff. If that's the case, reserves will be working every day. But long term? What do you see? No one can tell the truth for 3 seconds at that building, so how do you know what is going on? Last summer was a melt down. Christmas was a melt down. Followed by "we are hiring and upgrading so much we don't have the sim time to keep up" to "all hands needed on deck" to colas.
