The problem with crew rest is you'd have to have reserves sitting at outstations to fly the early legs in the morning, so that the late crew can rest. If you deadhead a reserve pilot on the flight that's late, that pilot will be rest-delayed just as much as the crew that's been flying all day.
Without a large amount of spare aircraft, I don't see how extra reserves would fix the few delays we have early in the morning at outstations after a GDP delays half of the fleet.

No you wouldn't need reserves at outstations. These GDP are implemented early in the day, and updated hourly or every two hours. Reserves would be used to replace crews going out on their last turn who will likely time out in the out station, or to operate the last flight out as a stand up in order to get back on time in the morning. We do have a couple spares each day as well.
Plus, next month there are no -300 lines. All 300s are spares until they are returned.

Perhaps your plan works next month while the 300s are sitting idle waiting for flying, if what you say is true.. Not now while the 300s are already covering flying that the ERJ side cannot staff.

Let me get this straight.. You expect CommutAir to execute a plane swap and use reserve pilots effectively in a crisis??

Just explaining how it should work.

Performance looks a lot better lately. I wonder if things are getting better or if our obligations have just been reduced.
