The biggest issues with CVG have always been (IMHO) a "Catch 22."
I know the ACP up there would LIKE to be able to split the schedule so that one pilot would fly a run Su-W and then another would cover Th/F and a couple weekend days.
The issue is that they can't get/keep pilots in the base. Until they can get the staffing, they can't adjust the schedule or cover all time off requests. And with the schedule the way it is, they can't get people to take an assignment there. Thus the Catch 22.
