Even the very senior check airman i've flown with couldn't tell me where the flying is coming from. FWIW, with the whole system eventually MD90 qualified, They can pull down MSPM88 overnight just as "slowly" as they're building it right now.

I think a good barometer is December, when new hires start to hit the line, and it is also the end of last AE's conversion window. If the reserve coverage situation doesn't improve, i'm outta here!
