Maybe a crew refused a blatantly illegal reassignment then was subsequently punished by being removed from their flight and replaced by a reserve crew. There really is no point to this rant other than chaos reigns supreme in our operation. We have no idea what the **** is going on any more than the folks in scheduling.

We do have a serious shortage of fresh meat to cover the attrition. Unfortunately, beyond the big bounties being offered to get meat through the door, we really have nothing else to offer. The SJS doesn't have the same draw as it did in the past. Other regionals have shinier jets along with other fringe benefits. Things like maybe a livable wage and some semblance of control over ones schedule. Amazing at it sounds, regional FO's sorta have to eat and pay rent and things like that.
