From RAH's Financial Earnings Report...
"However, our crew cancellation rates steadily climbed over the quarter and remain at elevated levels in April and May. There is really no point in speculating as to whether or not our ongoing labor dispute is driving escalated levels of crew cancellations. Regardless, we are convinced that the most expedient way to get back to our historically high levels of performance is to reach a successful outcome at the bargaining table. Unfortunately, until this happens, we expect our operational reliability will remain challenged. And in light of that reality, we have asked our partners to reduce our levels of flying this summer."
"Unfortunately, I think it was March 30 the IBT leadership team issued a memo to our pilots – let’s just say discouraging them from picking up open time. And unfortunately, that’s led to an even more elevated level of crew cancellations in April and May. So, with that as background, we approached our partners and requested all of them to reduce ratably block hour production for the summer months, because we just don’t feel it’s in anybody’s best interest to continue to have the poor performance the customer impacts that we are seeing. And as I said in the comments, we believe that getting to the asset of bargaining table and getting a new agreement in place with our pilots is going to be the long-term solution to this challenge."
