Similar story. Once got a GS to fly to LGA, DH back to DTW. While boarding to go back to DTW, I recognized that the FO had DH’d with us on the inbound flight. He was also on a GS: DH to LGA, fly back to DTW. Easy money.

Could be an interesting June on ATL 320 A... every day the reserve count is black with as little as 8 avail on some days in a 315 pilot category.

I smell green...

I smell future displaced 88A’s will be expected to be added to 320A. At least the ones that can hold it.

The current 50 are displacing through October on the projected training list, so likely future displacements wont be soon enough to cover any short categories over this Summer.. They understaffed a growing fleet and overstaffed a shrinking one.
