Reserve in ORD in December was about a year (to hold a line) It’s going down (I assume) so probably by now should be 10 to 11 months.

If things keep going the way they are, I’ll have a line at 4 months at ORD. I could have a line in MKE (bottom 10%) or CAE (60-75%) if that helps with regards to planning.

Does Air Wisconsin have hot reserve / Airport reserve? Is it common or rarely used?

DarkSideMoon

Yes. Probably the bottom 3-4 reserves in a base will get it.

Exactly it. 3-4 lines per seat per base. One at time max, per seat, per base.

Looking at if that will stay that way in the future, contractually based on the current set up in the crew rooms, they are limited to just one on duty at a time, per seat. Contract states how ready reserve rooms need to be set up. They are set up right now for just one per seat per base. Not that buying more recliners or getting a hotel day room wouldn’t allow them to add more - but they seem set on one and have been for a long time. As an example the ORD ready reserve room is massive and more capacity could be added today if they wanted more RRs. But again there has been no hint of that so I would say the status quo remains. IAD room is too small for more seats, so that would require leasing more space. I have never been in the RR rooms in MKE or CAE to say.

With the new contract and the addition of long call reserve lines what does this mean? How do they work?
