These are my single biggest complaints about the company. It's more or less assumed you'll just take platinum days to get what you want off and then deal with the idle threat emails. They are running way too thin on FOs on the CRJ by choice right now, and we keep taking on more flying (4 more delta 200s for December that ORD crews are covering). On the other side of the coin the 175 is way over staffed... I'm bidding over in Feb/Jan. Their average line values are 84-86 hours and you can drop trips due to excess reserves.
