To be quite honest, they are DOA because of reserve coverage..... Outstation bases have a lower reserve utilization (harder to use reserves to bail themselves out)....

Agree. Big picture is the "captain crisis" is over, and that's all the new bases were even about to begin with....enticing people to upgrade.

Yup, the flying is there to support the outstation base… But the company will only do it with single digit percentage amount of reserves in said base. They don’t want reserve pilots sitting at home collecting paychecks at outstations that they have a hard time activating….

Hence why in base reserve at a outstation is the best job…

Suffice to say FM and her team have done an exceedingly effective job of minimizing pilot credit time expenditure during her tenure. She has a financial analysis/accounting background, so it's no surprise.
