What these youngins don’t understand is Sept & Oct are historically months the traveling public doesn’t fly. So the airlines normally reduce flying in these two months so pilots don’t time out at 1000 hrs (granted it is a rolling 12 months). Which in turn makes a lot more folks sit reserve. But yes those numbers sound about right. Lots of junior folks hold Sept/Oct vacations to, who are normally on reserve, therefore making the company build more reserve lines. If Nov & Dec lines are that horrible, then it is time to bail and jump ship!
