My allergies are somehow directly linked to how "hot" we are. Very strange.

Yeah, my next GFB call will probably be for severe heat rash.

While true (I think they said “mostly”), I think that has been superseded. Hiring is currently at a rapid place, and is widely speculated to have revised upwards simce that statement.

Regardless, with ALV’s above 80 in MARCH, they won’t be able to keep up, and agree it will be yet another summer run “a little hot”.
Someone was trying to explain it to me that because of the way the numbers work, for every month at a high ALV they need to run a month and a half at a low ALV to keep it in spec.

It’s going to be a great summer!

was last summer not hot enough? How was I 91% in category getting greenies in the first week of a bid period and only having 4 reserves requiring 40? Because running hot really worked last year with a less then impressive profit margin…

TLV for a 12 month look back must be between 72-78. Meaning, if you have a 84 ALV one month and ALV of 72 the rest, the annual is 73. You would have plenty of runway. If you view the monthly bid monitor, two or three categories, one being 73NB, is like 77.5. That means high ALVs need to stop on the 73NB regardless of how much flying they have. And summer is coming

With the 73B.. that's probably why they are finally putting new hires in the 737. There hasn't been much growth in staffing on the 737 in a year - and in some bases the staffing decreased.
