I let the F/O rep know everything that transpired so hopefully this can get highlighted!
It depends on what seat you are in, but generally speaking it sure looks like we are understaffed. Now with the pulldown this fall we should be about 8-9% overstaffed. That is from bare bones, PBS min staffing (my math on that one) In reality we are about 3% over staffed from where I have figured they would like to keep staffing.

Summer 2012 block hrs are key, but one would think we are in a pilot crisis the way some of these little tricks are played.
