Is it just me or has there been a ton of premium pay trips lately, especially in March? Sign of being short staffed? I noticed they cut 50% of the reserves in Philly, hope the have to cx flights because of it!!

Super short staffed. This summer is going to be a real mess if they don't hire a bunch of people-fast.
