Curious what other airlines have to prevent “minimum staffing” games like we see here at UAL. I agree this is a huge issue & should be a top priority.

Spirits "min required reserves" are also based on a historical average. Company cannot just put any number they want.

Still I believe it's 75% of the board has to be green before initial open time if I'm correct. Bottom line is if you don't have this clause in your reserve rules you really have nothing.

I'm saying this just because I want the ua contract to be industry leading for me cause you know. Its all about me

It's EMBARRASSING that Spirit and Frontier have better schedule flexibility than than UAL.
