Running hot?
Is it just me or does 84hr ALV in March for nearly every 320 and 73N with an 80hr max out reserve (contract) seem a bit "warm?" Vies a vie Summer of 2019? If we are 84 in March are we 97 in june? I thought we weren't going to do that again...

I agree, with the being said I believe they are so high due to the TLV and the low ALV's of last summer. So they have to run it high now as to not be out of compliance. Quite convenient for them really, almost like they planned to do it all along.

This is just the beginning of the staffing crisis. With the permanent reduction of the 717 the 737/320 fleets are the flex fleets that will pick up flying as demand returns. No Profit Sharing this year but looks like pilots will have a good chance of making up if not exceeding the difference with Greenslips.

I assume they are running ALVs high through March because this round of Govt $$ (cares 2) has a use by date if I’m not mistaken... I think they have to use all the money by the end of April or give it back.

It's been nearly 3 years since a new seniority list Capt showed up in NYC. IF flying truly returns and wide bodies start flying again, God luck with your nearly 2000 less Capts.
