I'm wondering if between 117 and a 7th short call day if the company perceives a leaner staffing model than actually needed. I find it surprising that we have been canceling flights because of lack of crews. I always thought that kind of thing rarely, if ever, happened at a mainline company especially with our current management team.
ALV+15, 7th short call, 30 day smoothed bid-months, auto-max-duty-day extension, two hour perpetual call-out, sick leave harassment ....and a bunch of other neat stuff funded by my reduced profit sharing check. Each day I can't wait to wake up and see what surprise I'm going to find in my email. At this point, I'm actually hoping DALPA does nothing on most days. Scheduling is still pulling towards max-performing your QOL. Hold on.
