Anyone care to explain why ASA has had practically zero reserve FO 700 coverage this month? I thought we fixed this! According the company (Brad) we are adequately staffed
 
next month 45% reserves....Yeah....that oughta work!!!!!!

Wow, 700 Captian? 200 FO is about 20%. My understanding is that most of the "extra" flying for December was on the 700 and that things would be tappering off for January. But 45% is ridiculus...
 
There is a pretty big shift from FOs to CAs right now. With new hires taking about twice as long for training as upgrades, that leaves the FOs short.

PBS will take that down to 10%

700/900 schedules look very nice. Nice long legs, lots of flying outside of ATL, overnights in big cities, 5 leg days all but disappeared, and days were you don't see the same airport twice (ATL-PIT-DTW-BWI-MEM)

With no 700 FO vacancy, that doesn't offer an explanation.
