No there were a few weeks in 2007 where no one posted on the thread.

No talk of the new reserve required formula? Waiting for the smart guys to tell me what it all means.

My only take on it so far is that it'll allow greater flexibility of moving/dropping trips for line holders, and movement of X days for those on reserve.
It said it passed back on Feb 10, so maybe the discussion has already come and gone.

That is about the extent of it. The thresholds are different allowing greater flexibility for line holders and reserves a like. AKA, what guys wanted.

I looked the other day at, out of the 7 ERB categories, 5 of them had no days where they were above required reserves. Two (SEA I think) had about 20% of the days above, while NYC had about half above. We just need more pilots.
How's 'bout the other categories?

I read it - but eh. I mean, it changes the formula some, but in my category, we're very understaffed. Next month, some of the days are 16 req'd, 4 available. Most days are about 14 req'd, 7-8 available. A change in the formula isn't going to fix that, by much I think.
