Any diversion at the end of an 8+ block day leaves you and your pax dead in the water. Timed out recently at JFK taxing out. They planned 18 mins of taxi during the afternoon int push. Took 6 hours to find another crew.
This is what is happening at 9E, and when your senior guys lose their good schedules to cover the shortfall, they will pull the retirement ripcord. Now you have a real staffing issue on your hands.
