That, and the whole MOAD/VEOP/Reinstatement fiasco, in my opinion is also to blame. In my catagory, I was 75%ish before COVID, I slid near the bottom after the displacement, and then moved up to 60% after VEOP and reinstatements but for October and November, I have been reserve flying weekends and couldn’t get Thanksgiving off. I got Christmas off though, because (I think) they are working on getting the pilots who lost their currency requalled and those pilots will be available for December. My opinion is they let a bunch of non current people sit around and didn’t try to get them current in a timely fashion and it burned us horribly this weekend. Every airport departures board has had a lot of cancelled flights on it.

They could be cancelling flights because of low bookings too. Maybe we are on our way to 23K land again.
