I understand the whole concept of capped reserve days and the need to have the minimum required reserve in contrast to the actual available. Looking at the category for next month though, it looks like we will be short by 3-5 reserve pilots every day, so will that in turn prevent almost any type of moving of X days?

I know it is constantly changing hence the PCS updating 3 times a day, but I was curious if anyone else has seen this in the past.
