That's somewhat a function of historically crappy reserve rules, new rules might be better and might drive upgrade time higher. Guess we'll know in about a year.

That's for SWA, not AS.
A base might be possible with single fleet.
But rumor has it that the union shot down SAN about 15 years ago because the senior SEA boyz didn't want to lose their long SAN overnights. Guess that's what happens when you live in SEA, hate the rain and hate your wife.
Different union today though.

So 34 reserves are required and 19 are available. Our contract is entirely dependent on staffing to see the QOL improvements. I don’t believe that things will be different until staffing improves.
PBS can push your schedule to 87 hours some months and will only be driven down to 83 hours by the trailing line value. At SkyWest it was called CN, company needs when a bunch of unwanted flying was pushed on your schedule. I’m guessing reserves will be staying quite busy when the sick calls continue next year.

Sorry it's been 6 years. I'd be guessing what TLV means? If it was total line value, in 2017 when I left staffing was pretty OK still. Total line value was in the 70s. I was never personally CN'd but a lot of friends were once the majors started hiring so many pilots. It did not sound fun.

I checked the reserve staffing for this weekend in SEA for captains and it’s consistently at 60%

Skywest PBS was solved by globalization, ours is sequential with limits on stack height.
