Did I miss something (probably!) or has this become a very nice reserve system for the senior pilots?
I got a text from a buddy whose wife works at the GO. Not in flight ops but has friends there, and the one from crew resources said their phones have been ringing nonstop with pilots upset about the new system.
I myself never thought of calling because it isn't going to change anything going forward and one call will not make a change. I email. Get it in writing.
Just reportin' as it's text'd to me.
