I was up talking to the union today and asked about the staffing issues. They said it's a combo of the last of the crew transitions from the last bid and that Delta pulled the carpet out from beneath them. Something about Delta temporarily changing a huge number of block hours requiring an impossible plan for staffing. Had something to do with all that unstacking I guess. Who knows though.....
As far as that bucket goes apparently there are a bunch of reserves available but aren't showing in the bucket. I had to call in sick the other day and there were zero guys in the bucket. They had no problem finding a reserve guy to do it and he just came off days off. Guess they are hiding them somewhere.

Afterburn81 is correct. Just this weekend/first week is tough on 700 staffing due to the schedule transition. FO side has about 20% reserve coverage

Thiese are on the ERJ side finally, add that to the CRJ classes and things here are starting to have a slight glimmer. Hope all you ERJ guys come to Newark and push me up a little higher! Welcome aboard to those who have been treading water in the pool for a while.
