The ratios are higher than the CBA requires, but they have been that way since I started over 17 years ago. During the furlough they were around 80%. They have gone down quite a bit since then. I believe the company prefers around the mid 60s percentage wise to cover the millions of ways schedules can get messed up since 2 SICs cannot fly together and it gives more options for the company to fix the problems when they arise.
