Quote: This nugget from the DTW Council 20 letter on the ALPA boards..."Pilot overstaffing during shoulder flying months was a major issue for Richard Anderson. He has commented on this concern more than once to the MEC. The TA increase in ALV/TLV is projected to increase flying by thirty to sixty minutes per month per pilot and reduce staffing requirements." Wonder if ALV + 15 during the summer will help with that?
Turning July and August into 30 day months is also a huge factor that wll allow for fewer pilots.
