Well I’d agree that there are seasonal reductions in the fall. However, if you look back this year there’s a different story to tell.
Let’s take Chicago, for instance,
December 2018 - 65 lines
January 2019 - 61 lines
February 2019 - 60 lines
March 2019 - 60 lines
April 2019 - 55 lines
May 2019 - 53 lines
June 2019 - 55 lines
July 2019 - 53 lines
August 2019 - 53 lines
September 2019 - 51 lines
October 2019 - 49 lines
It’s almost like there’s a distinct pattern here.
For the uninitiated here, the “lines” represent actual schedules that are bid on by pilots every month. If you’re too junior to hold a line, then you’re going to be on reserve. Reserve is bad. Also, when the amount of lines available are reduced every month, you’re basically moving away from a hard line when you should be moving toward it. Just being honest.
