You have resoundingly shut down giggity's attempt to use total cancellations as a metric of operational performance. We cancelled roughly twice as many of our scheduled flights than any other carrier on Sunday, Dec. 27th. Proves my point.
IMHO a big part of our operational meltdown was lack of an EJet pilot base in IAD. An IAD EJet pilot base/pure IAD EJet trips would have drastically reduced our cancellation factor on Sunday, but hey I'm just a pilot what do I know?
Someone in our planning/scheduling department seems obsessed with these linear lines, running EJets IAH->[TUL/AUS/DFW/OKC/SAT]->IAD and back. It finally burned them on Sunday and cost them a lot of unneccesary cancellations. Hopefully someone at United/Mesa realizes that maybe covering 10-15 EJet lines out of IAD from a crew base FOUR HOURS away in a completely different part of the country/completely different weather is a bad idea.
Not my problem, tbh, just seems very dumb to lose all that revenue cancelling IAD flights all because our fleet/EJet pilots are stuck in Houston.
