Just a side note, has anyone here on reserve REALLY blocked over 75 hours? And if so are there a lot of you doing so? When ever I have looked at the reserve list I see a good portion of them haven't flown a bunch but are getting extra credit due to vacation time and such. There were a few that had flown a bunch, mainly because the weather has been crappier than crap and IROPS are no longer IROPS since an irregular operation is when things actually go as planned. But for the most part they haven't really exhausted all of the reserves. There are just days that they are shorter than they would like to be obviously due to there own decisions. So I still don't see this shortage in crew members. I'm sure the company would recall if they trully needed too. I mean over a year ago they were hiring pilots like they were going out of style just because Delta said keep em coming, we got tons of work for you. Yeah, that didn't work out so well.
