I counted 19 FO’s in IAH on reserve in March doesn’t include people coming off IOE. Been awhile since we had that many. not much open time at the end of the awards. Our flying down a lot in March it appears. Magalpa site shows 186 projected lines in February to 169 lines in March. We have around 294 FO’s in IAH seniority list and I’d guess 170 on line so well over100 FO’s in training pipeline.

Back in 08 when we cancelled vacations and flights left and right. We didn’t lose flying. If I remember the right, long after that event I had a discussion with management and the termination point for the contract was more then a 7% controllable cancellation rate for the entire month for 4 straight months. The % I’m fuzzy on but I do remember you had to do it for 4 straight months.
I assume cpa cancellation terms are still roughly the same. You have to implode pretty badly to lose flying.

I remember we went up hours in January so this takes us back down to December’s levels. United in their recent earnings call was going to expand capacity 4-6% so optimistic it will go backup. Focus was on mid continent hubs. Looking at the earnings slides many of routes in the rebank are routes we fly now.

No one knows the logistics of what the cpa says at any airline but Losing flying is not an easy thing to do. Delta only took back the 900s after going through a long court process. Republic only lost their United 175 additional aircraft through bankruptcy restructuring and agreement.
