Management came into our class today and told us that LGA is predicted to go up to 27 airframes. Is there enough real estate there for that much growth? I assume it will come at the expense of other carriers flying. Would they possibly switch it from a LGA base to a NYC base?

It's my understanding that it is going to be co based over time and I have heard similar. It'll most likely be the easy way to staff whatever small foot print of erj flying in Miami we have down the road.

Being short on staffing and hiring 70 a month doesn't have a direct correlation to our fleet plan in the long run.
But he is absolutely right that schedules are bad. That's why I love reserve. I get late starts early finishes. 90-110 credit. 14-15 days at home. Less than 10 overnights per month. Every now and then we get hit with a crazy month that makes me want to bid a line but then I get months like November and December where I hardly work at all.

It's not uncommon at all to have 4-5 people a day not called out in DFW.

Every now and then CS will give me something nasty. I know there is always the chance of some bad stuff happening on reserve but that's the choice I make.
CA reserve is torture. People on here won't believe what it's like for CAs at Envoy. I see what they put you guys/gals through.
