Don't freak us out like that man! ha ha. I think PinnacleFO is right. I don't think Delta has any clue as to what's going on in August or September. Maybe they do but they probably don't "post" the schedules on their public websites this early. It makes no sense to drop ALL of those cities (and there are a lot of them) and not pick anything up without announcing aircraft reductions. Lets just take this one month at at time. For our own sanity.

Have any of you junior guys on the 200 been used on reserve?

I'm a junior 200 FO and I've been flying around 10 hours a month... that seems to be pretty average for 200 FO reservists from what I've heard.

Wow. I wonder what's going to happen here. I'm a senior reserve and 10 hours is what I got in April. For January-March I was averaging 40-50 hours.

Less people call in sick in the summer... so that probably has something to do with it. Practically all the flights I've been doing are 900 downgrades

It is all screwed up they are short on 900 FOs and CAs in MEM and short on Saab FOs in MSP. I know junior FOs on the Saab in MSP that are flying like 50-60 hours on reserve.

40-50 should be about average, that way we can all pay the bills

Well if I am not going to break 75 hours on a reserve line then I don't want to be called at all.

Understandable. I'm a commuter so I want to fly as much as possible. I have had a build for about 7 months now and have only broken 75 twice. Once PBS starts noone will be over 75.
Still wondering whats going on with the half-time lines. I wonder if they are just gonna surprise us and throw them in the bid packet.
