Default Reserve Leveling-FDX

Sat A reserve the 1st six days of the month.(MD-11 F/O) Looking at the leveling picture, it looks like utilization is between 90% and 100% every day!! Besides the volcano in ANC, is there anything else going on?? I haven't seen this kind of usage since summer of '06....during heated contract negotiations. At least reservists aren't working as many days with the decrease in BLG/RLG.....

Isn't that enough? Take ANC out of play a few days each week and I'd say it would be pretty easy to burn through all the reserves, IMO.

That is my experience this month as well. It is the 6th and I am well over 40 hrs leveling. Not all one trip either.
