If I were to guess, I think they are trying to run us thin now so we're not fat in the winter. Problem is, aside from violating the contract, I think they underestimate future attrition. The number of people leaving might have slowed now but it will pick back up later this year.

This is the formula at PSA as well. Curse of the wholly owned subs. If they could afford to do annual furloughs they would. Could be fun actually. I once had a job that laid me off every Jan - March because I was "seasonal full time" they would file the needed paper work for unemployment benefits.. automatically. Jan-March I still had 2/3rds my normal income direct deposited to the bank. 3 month paid vacations are pretty fun. Spent many a winter waist deep in BC powder. Snow that is.
If seasonal resorts can exploit this why can't airlines?

i think you'd be lucky to break 30k if you ho'd yourself out and picked up premium stuff (which is kinda a no-no right now)
