I had a friend from DFW tell me the whole day was cx'd there, and replaced with a couple of mainline flights. I guess those just get dropped into open time? How does that affect the ALV for those categories? I hope someone is keeping an eye on that in this season of contract negotiations...
It's pretty telling that this is happening now, just when we were supposed to be getting those ERJ's. They must have been counting on a new fleet at mainline to protect the feed. Well, the pressure's on them now. All these problems are easily solved with a pen and a checkbook.
