But hour to hour it changes and just down to a couple of hundred flights. American is doing everything in their power to just make it be a seamless holiday season. The union that represents american pilots says it was told by american that the computer glitch meant that 15,000 flights from the 17th to the 31st lacked assigned crews and american did not confirm that number but working diligently to staff all the flights. This afternoon it put out this statement. Out of the 200,000 flights american will operate in december. Only a few hundred are currently unassigned to pilots. The number of open flights continue to decrease thanks to the pilots stepping up to the plate and picking up trips. Listening to the airlines its an improving situation and the goal to have an entire resolution we are told. They are using research or stand by crews to fly during those days that they had staffing problems and by enticing other crew members to come back to work from vacation by offering time and a half pay.
