You can pull up all the airport standby's assigned and just count how many are really there compared to how many chairs are available. 9 square feet per chair was ruled insufficient by an arbitration, so they can't cram them in side to side.... the same arbitrator did not specify the square footage that would be okay. In any event, when they have too many assigned, people get to go home early.

The one issue that wasn't tested was the Co-domicile. If you can be assigned to flights at either airport; then why are they allowed to double up on the reserves? If it's being treated as one base, then there should only be one set of ready reserves. What they've done is essentially say if we open multiple crew rooms in one base and stuff recliners in there we can have an unlimited number of airport standby's.
