Only time will tell.

If that's what you actually think he is all about than you are right. I see him different. He is the same type of problem so many organizations have, a side liner heckling at the guys on the field about how bad they are doing. When asked for help....he will be the first to call in sick.

Staffing the schedule with reserve pilots will become the norm.

Give them time...they are either (A) sick, or (B) working to the point of fatigue...

They say they do not plan on posting openings on the 88 on the next AE and do not need to post openings for Summer 2013 flying.
As to displacements off the 88, they think enough will bid the 717 not to have to post displacements. If more than enough AE off the 88, then they may even do some backfilling if enough bid off.
But right now, the 88 is overstaffed.... at 10 pilots per plane.
