Same deal for white slips. Its going to be a lot harder for a lineholder who is short just to fill up.
Being "senior" just lost a lot of it's power.
I'm not sure management has thought that one through either. They better have a plan for putting a lot more guys on short call. Or watch out for reroutes.
Check,
If what you are saying is true, we are short thousands of pilots. In my category, the big change is 3 nights sleep back home after an ULH. This can be mitigated by making trips longer, so I don't think it will be super-negative. However, if you need scheduled rest before a whiteslip / greenslip, the company cant cover open time the way we are manned.
There is no question that reroute is the new shortcall for domestics.
