Good! Maybe they'll actually upgrade a few people this next round...

I have an interview upcoming. That can be considered a good sign in that they expect some movement. If I hear something about an upcoming class, I'll post it. So far as I know, they're interviewing for a hiring pool.

I mean this as a serious statement. Is there some kind of significant attrition that I'm not aware of? All I have noticed is that I move backwards mostly and that reserve in Atlanta is super lengthy. Am I missing something?

Just so you know, Trips displayed in open time do not directly correspond to the amount of reserves to cover said trips!!! I am a senior nap reservist, and have already had 2 "off days" moved for reserve coverage. Us reservists are the only ones that can see the daily reserve list, and let me tell you!; we are super short on the CRJ side in ATL! For example; it's now October 10th, and guess how many reserves are available on a non-holiday week day for tomorrow!? 4. Yes there are only 4 reserves available today to cover sick calls, mis-connects, and ready reserve! With over 300 ATL F.O.'s, there are 4 of us who are expected to cover the schedule! It has been this way for over 6 months.
Each month, once the lines are published, there are dozens of trips left in open time that consume most of the available reserves. We are in no way properly staffed!

EFBs soon too. Any guesses on what hardware? The update says they are in final negotiations with vendors so it can't be iPads because Apple doesn't negotiate I'm guessing we will use the upcoming windows slate

Ya, well, I've been hearing that for years.
