Narrative:
The current schedule reduction and reserve staffing levels have increased the number of pilots who are non current or are within several days of non currency; due to landings.most of my one day pairings have been with pilots who have not flown in over 75 days. The additional workload that this places on the other pilot is very high and at times unsafe. When flying 3-4; one day pairings in a row; the increase in fatigue and stress due to the required additional awareness and vigilance is unsustainable. This issue is not the fault of any pilot; but by the rules and operating environment we are currently in. Most of the reserves are proficient in procedures and systems knowledge; it is the approach and landing phase where their lack of proficiency is evident.I recommend that any pilot who has not flown in more than 75 days be required to fly the first leg with a line check airmen.
