There is real talk for this, but the hangup is 'FA head' and the lack of foresight on her part. She doesn't think it's possible to come up with a computer program to figure out how to schedule 1 FA on part of trip, and then adding a second for another part.
The intelligent person would say, "why doesn't SkyWest just pay for the software that is currently available." That isn't what SkyWest is about. They would rather pay someone $13/hr to write a new program that doesn't work and expect us to use it.
If this does happen, it will be a while.
