I do agree, however, that if they don't do anything soon, then there will be a big issue. PSA, Envoy, and PDT management are puppets though. AAG sees the numbers concerning everything. They know the issues. They came down on payroll and scheduling back when delays from crew swaps and pay discrepancies were incredibly high. They know the hiring issues happening at the WOs. Ultimately it's up to them to pony up and fix the issue.
More efficient lines is just the first step, a step which means they have actually finally noticed there is a problem. The next step will be a reduction in 200 flying as 900s come on board. I agree with a few changes they can continue to limp along as they have been for another several months.
Thats why this is the time we need to start putting the pressure on them
SAP 75, no open time, no junior man.
AAG may be aware of the issues, but they won't do a thing until it starts affecting their operation.
