Generally speaking, you have to move whole groups of X days or move the last one or two X days in a group over to the next group. As someone else stated you can't create new groups of days off. Remember that moving X days comes after all the regular line holders have done trip drops and other reserve pilots have done PDs (personal drops). If there are lots of available reserve pilots, it might work. Good luck!

RS stands for Reservation Sales. (At least that is how I recall it. It is not Republic)

ATL is actually short this weekend, and I can see them using a NYC reserve for that reason. There have been a few GS go out this weekend in ATL. That is after having 50 reserves avail at the start of this week.
Remember guys, new formula. It is not that staffing has changed, it is that the formula used to get to that number has changed.

That is a possible reason.......
..........but I think it has more to do with the fact that there is almost exclusively O&D traffic in the NYC domestic markets(JFK intl conx excepted). The company can fill an airplane out of NYC at 0600 to lots of locations due to sheer numbers of people that live in the NYC area. On the late inbounds, even though there still isn't that connecting pax (lots of O&D), they can fill an airplane later in the evening and have it terminate in NYC at 11pm, and people will buy the tickets.

Excellent post newK and spot on.
FWIW, many of us northies' biggest problem is what has happened to our operation. We were almost always at the top of the list for ontime arrivals, and exceedingly operationally efficient. We were always in the upper middle of customer satisfaction and won first place nearly every year from customers for our website. Now we are the most complained about airline by our customers and near the bottom for ontime arrivals and other metrics.
The above aren't complaints...they are simply facts. Now when you add to this the fact that many north managers were removed from their positions for trying to add our expertise to the operation, it doesn't exactly create a high morale situation.
Don't know how many northies agree with my analysis, but I know it's the feelings of many.
