So, with attrition in excess of 100/mo, life is gonna be awesome at the bottom of the pile this Summer. Why would we even have reserve? Everyone is gonna fly to limits, right?

You still need reserve because when everyone flies limits, you have a lot of sick calls.

They will wind up with more reserves and setting the window bottom very high.. Then when they realize they can't staff it it will be after they cancel hundreds of flights.
