No more legal to start legal to finish is going to cause the most issues during IROPs. Expect reroutes and Inverse assignments to be used to manage the schedule for the next few months.
The 88/90 fleet was singled out as the fleet with the most issues.
Translation: we waited too long to hire now all of you (and our customers) will pay the price with work day disruption, lost days off, and unproductive trips. Combine that with poor contract language regarding lost days off and you have a perfect way to "fix the glitch."
