I'd like to hear others' stories of waste being observed on the line at XJT. I think it would be intersting to see what others have seen.

For example, last week. Our deadhead flight was about 3 hours late. We were to operate another turn after, which would have ran about a hour late. So in their wisdom, they pulled us off the turn, replaced it with a reserve crew they had to deadhead in from ATL, while we sat in DTW and did nothing for almost 4 hours instead of operating that turn. Makes no sense! Why not take the hour delay and not waste 2 crews plus the cost to deadhead!? Makes my head spin
