As for lines, what do you mean, lines have been net increasing. Sure DFW/ORD suffered a loss but guess what, DTW/LAS/FLL gained more flying than DFW/ORD lost for november.
Yes we are very fat, on the FO side only. Captain side is far from fat. the grid is still a mish mash of red green with hardly any open time out there. So I will agree that the captain side is rightly staffed, not fat. Fat would mean a full green grid like say... DTW FO. Literally 3 red days for all of november.
DFW is fat on the CA side. Every day is green on the CA side, some with 45 reserves a day, only exception is Thanksgiving.
We dont have any open time because we are heavy on pilots, so the company creates more REL lines for those pilots, then the open time for IOT is dropped on those REL lines, along with RES days; hence why we dont have open time and why we have so many green days.
