Until you have no reserves to cover anything, notably in DFW. May was brutal (weather!), especially the last couple of weeks up until just a few days ago. DFW CA reserves were stretched thin. On any given day, DFW was starting out with 5 to 10 captains total on reserve. Yeah, not sure how they got through that. I did see a handful of people get junior manned. But this is all nothing really new in the airline biz. Meanwhile we continue to take on 2ish aircraft per month. Summer travel is here. Hold on to your butts.....
