Did ASA make a mistake furloughing?
I was checking out sked+ today and there are 13 days where we are below min reserve staffing. This is only March and they are having problems with staffing, the summer season could potentially be a disaster if the block hours increase more.
I highly doubt anyone will be called back, but this is at least looking a little promising for some people to be called back (10-20 maybe?). Has anyone heard anything? I've been really out of the loop since hitting the street.
Has anyone been getting the JM call?

Those arrows you see on skedplus indicate less reserves then their model, but the truth is they aren't junior manning or asking line holders to pick up time and a half! Ha in fact everyone is snapping up open time like crazy!
