As I understand it he will get a LOA to go without a mustache because of all the expansion he is going to get for the regionals.

That statistic does not explain much. Some categories don't see many short calls because they are already assigned the day before they hit reserve. Short calls are mostly covered by White and Green slips.
PBS reserve really changed the game. It's brutal with up to 11 days of availability (carry in months).

With regards to PBS, I like the flexibility of being able to string together long stretches of reserve. Being able to get six or seven days off in a row is nice if I am planning a getaway, of course I know I will have to work your butt off the rest of the month.

That is the beauty of a big operation, they will flex other bases if possible to cover your flying. This holds true for many categories.
They seem to be getting a nice "save" with all of the European cancellations. It is allowing them to use those pilots when they otherwise would have had no one to cover trips.

Does a 24 hour layover cover the required rest of 24 hours in 7 days? I just had some weird experience with scheduling and I'm not sure what the rules / contracts means in this respect. Please enlighten my knowledge..
