The company has never shown an aversion to making the schedule happen with green slips and IA. If they have an opportunity to reduce reserve pilots' pay by 20%, they'd rather over do it than under do it... and not just in highly overstaffed categories.
Eventually there will be enough data to zero in on a healthy percentage of ULC. Until that data exists, my guess is they flood the stack with ULC. It's analogous to them working so hard to minimize pre-month credit, even when so many of those gains were reversed during actual execution of the schedule.
Just my guess, anyway...
