I hope DAL pilots try to get a max 4 days on, min of 3 days off after a rotation. Which could be waived in PBS if a pilot really wants to load up a schedule. Idk. I'm still not sure how the 747 folks do those 12 day trips! I rather be home.
The first 5 years post merger we were overstaffed. Now were understaffed, & it feels like it happened overnight. Things will have to slow down this fall, as the ALVs need to come down in order to meet the TLV.
