I want to know the secret behind dropping reserve days when the numbers are below the minimums. I've watched the numbers drop by three to five between the 23-26th of December. The 23rd is now 0 and it started out at 5 required 5 available. Either guys are getting the month long flu, using mil leave, or know some secret trick that I haven't figured out yet.

Nope. No airplanes left that require that. The only companies that want an FE written are FedEx and UPS.... not even sure if UPS wants it anymore.

Hampton (LFI) where I grew up had a lot of Mercury 7 stuff all around. I think Apollo 1, the burned up capsule, sits in the back corner of a storage shed on Nasa Langleys property. Saw it on TV.

They may not be dropping reserve days. If a trip goes into open time that day, the reserves available will drop too.
