Also, does anyone have any insight into critical lines or access to a recent schedule containing them?

If you can pick up a line on a scheduled day off its 125% as far as i understand? assuming you don't go over your required 1-day off/wk limit. So does this mean that when on reserve its difficult to pick up a critical line, until you have a R1, or am I mistaken?

What are the trends of lines being critical of any percentage (125,150,175%)? I believe nov/dec holidays everything gets crazy but lets focus on any given month...

Is there an average number of critical lines each week (e.g. do sunday evenings tend to be critical, or maybe thursday mornings? who knows, maybe japans happy hour goes critical for PSA on Wednesdays, but thats the kind of stuff id like to find out)


and side question on SAP. Does no other airline really have SAP or something close to it? Ive heard about PBS but SAP seems to be one of the largest benefits of PSA and I've read and heard very good things about it. As in, many people choose PSA because SAP makes QoL that much better.

all helpful stuff people, im sure im not the only one learning a lot
