This appears to be about 75 percent less open time than pre new contract. So just an educated guess is they may be waiting to see what happens next month and reforecast hiring / upgrades. Anyone want to chime in on my assessment? Just an educated guess on my part.

Yes, it looks like flying isn't being added as quickly as pilots.
The contract appears to be very effective at getting pilot utilization up.
I'm surprised they weren't ready for the changes.
I'm seven months in and don't get called on reserve, let alone being able to pick up open time/aggressive reserve... There isn't any...
