It's called backfill geniuses. Why do you think ORD and MSP are revolving doors of new hires?

Thanks Richard. I know what backfilling is. But when ORD has consistently had ~10 to 15 reserve lines for the past several months, to suddenly drop that much is a little disconcerting, especially in Jan.

But thanks for the input and pretending your an expert on this company .....Genius

No it's not . As soon as the next new hire class hits the line in the coming days/weeks they will be put on reserve in whatever domicile is most junior at your airline. That's how airlines work. If you knew what backfilling was, you wouldn't be Saying stupid things

Next month the ERJ in ORD has 50% reserve coverage. This is the most reserves I have seen since 08.

January, for most, is the lowest block hour month of the year.
