Last I heard they are already doling out LC trips for the middle of November for FOs in both PHL & DCA.
With steady attrition at 12 CAs/mo, I'll be at the current junior CA in about 23-25 months. With the number of people I've heard about getting calls at UPS/CAL/SWA/Frontier recently, that number is only likely to increase IMO.
Drops are being approved next to never these days because of 'maintain RSV coverage' yet there is no opentime and LCs are either killed all mount or not used at all. Weird...
