That was last month. This month and next month has lot more pilots on reserve as the summer new hire classes make it out to the line. Plus, November saw a decrease in number of lines in ORD. Currently, there are about 46 pilots on reserve in ORD. Expect more to be sitting reserve as more the summer hire to trickle in as they get their IOE completed and number of lines don't increase commensurately.
