Quite the opposite, although attrition is not as high as the regionals we've had guys leaving or JB and NKS, not just the Legacies. With our current contract (or lack thereof), staffing is only going to get worse. We won't stop hiring any time soon.

As for, its not that bad? I just met the record holder for the involuntary TDY, 17 consecutive months of non commutable schedules (he has a family). Two years ago when IBT came on the property it was a 60/40 split on the yes vote and a lot of senior daddy's were ****ed off that we became a union carrier. Two years later? now all those anti Union guys are sporting Local 1224 Lanyards and are irked because they thought they had Sunday off but instead are being junior manned and sent to Bellingham. And I'm talking guys that are in the top 10% of the list. Our strike vote passed at 98%. That should say it all.

I'm not trying to come at you with a tone by the way. I'm just telling you the truth, I had to see it to believe it for myself.
