So PG,
You don't think productivity sits and going from concourse A to D every time you transit Atlanta could be solved by building rotations where pilots and FAs stay with the same plane?
It really is that simple.
Not a knock on the SOT. I think the company, for some reason, likes nonproductivity.
For what it is worth, they did an experiment back in 98 doing just that. I am sure the data is still there, but there were not a lot of benefits according to what was presented.. Keeping pilots and FAs together is not as simple or cost effective as it may seem as they have bases we don't, can fly any aircraft etc. when you take away that sort of flexibility, it begins to offset many what may be benefits
