A mid 2007 hire is now 100 from the bottom after two full years already. That's two years, and 1000+ numbers from EWR CA on reserve. Or, a late 2007 hire who is furloughed and no recall until they are probably four years past their hire date.

Most airlines increase line credit in the summer. What it does it keeps the amount of reserves fat for the fact that we all have a lot of weather induced IROPS. They need those reserves to keep the op going and get it back on track when people start timing out. That is why they do it.
Here on the 767 at DAL we dropped 50 lines one month to the next. The average line went from 72 hrs to 82 hrs. What it did was give them more reserves to cover the system with. There is reason for the madness.
