Not sure how crew resources is looking at things, but I think we could add a few more to the category, everywhere!
Welcome to the new reserve at DAL. We would always cover other bases occasionally but lately it is the norm, at least for some NB categories.
We have a 737 Pilot base at every domicile and we are now effectively system wide reserves. I bid reserve in March for LAX and covered SEA, SLC, and NYC trips. This fellas is the new normal.
Not sure why this is more prevalent now? Maybe HAL has taken over for the schedulers?
