We could fill in a little bit by utilizing the aircraft more and not have any spares. Might need a few pilots to return to beef up reserves. Of course this is all speculation and we know DCI's track record when it comes to Freedom flying or aircraft!
Bubba, you have a valid point regarding reserve. The company is having a tough time figuring out Long Call reserve and being in compliance with the FAR related to 24 hours free from duty in 7 consecutive days.

P.S. Mesa will survive longer than Comair.
