We need more pilots (DTW CA's for certain).
That's the best that could be created without 3200+ DH's for an extra 5 minutes of block per duty productivity. It will be ugly until Jan-Feb. I'm all for "burn the house down" but sometimes when life gives you lemons, you need to buy vodka.
I wasn't complaining about the trips. I was just saying what I saw. I'm hoping for the longer layovers instead of the airport appreciation sits. Then I can make a whooooole bunch of special lemonade with my lemons. I'm not for "burn house down" one bit, maybe just a few burn marks here and there. My bed is in this house for at least the next few years and I have mouths to feed and a roof over our heads to pay for.
