I wouldn't expect to see reserve GS, and definitely not PB days creating rolling thunder. Just means when staffing is really bad, reserves will work 60+hrs for reserve guarantee vs same/less block for 100-150+ pay.
Language pending.
Eh. I doubt we are going from 14-18,000 GS a month to no reserves can get one. They are going to red-line this operation next year and 2024 to make some serious profits if the demand is there. And I don’t think staffing is going to be adequate enough to support that on most fleets. And I don’t think this 150% stuff is going to be as dramatic as people think.
