That's what I heard as well. Hard to believe that the the limfac on growth for an airline this size is the failure to have the pilots distributed properly. Min staffing has always been the practice at LCAL then using 200% pay to surge through holidays, then weekends, and now entire quarters (Dec 23rd through April 20th was continuous 200% pay for pickups for one group). Looks like they stretched that too far and now we'll leave profits on the table during what should be the most profitable time of the year.
