However in todays environment long term could mean 3 weeks.
It is true. 15 CRJ CA vacancies but 0 CRJ FO vacancies. Reason: There are 62 FO's already in IAH, but 47 CA's so this vacancy evens out the disparity.
I think it might be long term staffing as well and here is why: I have seen us go down the rabbit hole of increases and decreases in flying in IAH a few times now. Every single time, OO has decided to crew the temporary increases via other domiciles. This is the first time they have actually committed to a substantial increase. I don't think we are taking all IAH flying as that is not UAL's typical M-O.
Absolutely correct that the usual rules do not apply and as we have seen before it could be completely invalid logic two hours from now.
