Overhired in 2016. We are fat by about 60 new hires, and we are still putting through a good amount this month. It is going down to 20 in the summer months and then resuming full steam ahead this fall. It all balances out.

I feel like the reserve grid would be red no matter what. They just don’t want us dropping and then picking up at 150%

Have we all done the employee survey yet? Can I suggest we try and put a stop to these firebreaks? Or at least limit them? 12+ hour duty days and only flying 2-3 legs is ridiculous. I don't think they quite understand how tiring sitting around for hours actually is..

I don’t think firebreaks are the problem. They wouldn’t be an issue really if we had duty rigs and higher min day

Those reserve threshold numbers are complete bolloxs. DTW was short 16 captains a few days back yet the day wasn’t showing critical pay and there were no reserve days in open time.

Bingo, there should be an automatic trigger that if a day is red, 150% reserve days are available to bring the day to black, and if it's short by (pick a number) then that automatically triggers 200%. This reserve grid is faker than Donald Trump on a 3 Dollar bill. It was one of my commented items in my survey. Hopefully someone reads it and takes action.
