We're still overstaffed, look at all the people sitting around and flying 5 hours a month.
What are the staffing bid rumors? I haven't been flying much and I hear that ATL and IAD will no longer be reserve bases (I know about for the Flight Attendants) but I hear for pilots also and that it will be out in March sometime. I hope there's one, I'm putting in for upgrade.

Haven't heard anything regarding a staffing bid but who knows. I would be surprised to see anything prior to June. I also wouldn't be surprised if you saw upgrade minimums increased depending on how hiring and staffing goes.

Effective at the same time as the 1500 hr rule you will have to have 1000 hrs of "air carrier experience" to be PIC in 121. I have a feeling that some of our FOs don't know this, and especially the ones on reserve may get denied upgrade on that basis.
