I seriously hope this is not what is considered SOP!
If you estimate 22 build up lines in each base that leaves you with 100 Reserve Captains in SFO and about 80 Reserve First Officers. What is that....about a 38% reserve coverage for Captains and a little less than that for First Officers?!
LAX is a little better but not much. 23%?
What has the reserve percentage been in the past year? 12-13%?
Not on drugs! How long will this last without downgrades and furloughs?
Isn't there a timeframe established in the TPA that outlines a timeframe that disallows furloughs?
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, this may be due to some airframes going in for paint and a Fall pull down but......DAMN!!!
147 + 27-33 open flying lines = 180
68 on RSV a little fat but it’s that time of year. AS is expecting 30 VX pilots to walk in the next 12 mos. If Airbus doesn’t come back with a good number $$$ on switching all those 320 options to 321. You will all be slowly reduced to the Boeing side. There will be no furloughs.
