My guess would be that all of the "United North" guys are at it again.

Several have called in sick repeatedly and have then taken impromptu trips to Cabo. Forget about what the contract says, these guys were responsible to schedule themselves for their training (and its completion) in a timely fashion, irrespective of whatever the training lady is doing this week. My Mint.....what the golly is that?

Others have called in fatigued after taking long languorous naps. It is rumored that they then went to Hawaii to compete in the Ironman. Some stayed out west to perform missionary work with homeless, lithe young Polynesian Princesses. When they will avail themselves for training is anyones guess. Perhaps they will show up for some of that rumored instructorless sim time in MIA? Clearly this is something for us all to be upset about. The nerve!

Some of the more resourceful have have scheduled brain surgery for their patients. After all, Brain Surgeons are in short supply and the pay is pretty decent.

I'm sure that the rest have just done their level best to sabotage the entire airline and are ruining everything for everybody. They have used their ALPA engineered ISL windfall to destroy the Taco Bus Lady's livelihood. My guess is that about 95 percent of the 600M loss can be laid directly at their feet. The rest of the loss we can just blame on the weather.
