They're taking reservations months ahead of time. It's not as if they can magically know what staffing they'll have in 3-9 months. I'm effected by this, but I bought my ticket in September. It doesn't seem reasonable to require any business to know for-sure that every employee needed to run a flight in December will be there in order to sell it in September. Anyone can quit, die, or become ill at any time. If they had to contract every employee into a binding contract where they must fly a given route on a given day at a given time, we'd be howling about how they're abusing their employees, and in fact that's not far off from what everyone's been complaining about the railroad industry doing. Predicting the future, even a few days at a time, is always best-effort.
