In that same 6 month look-back I was talking about before I have had only 1 (one) LC day that I wasn't used on because I was either full or it was assigned rest. There is just no respite from it. And not enough coverage to use PDs or move XX days. To this point I just haven't had a frame of reference for what the "new" reserve life here is like for anyone else, so I'm trying to see if it is everyone in my cateogry or what. This ain't my first rodeo, but I have not seen reserve utilzation like this even 20 years ago at the regionals in the truly bad-old-days. So, with that in mind I wanted to expand the old team and see what the scoop was. All I can tell so far is that they're not moving anyone in to the 320 in ATL at all for the foreseeable future so I guess the beatings will continue all summer.
