Parker could have stepped in & put an end to USAPA's skulduggery. MG/JB can have a T/A tommorow. In each case the status quo adds millions to the bottom line each quarter & you can count on management to continue kicking the can.
I don't know what's going on in your base, but SFB cancelled a fair number of flights recently due to lack of crews. They're regularly burning reserves there & running out of them often! This base would be in a world more shiite if the special few would stop picking up the dang Mission Modes!!
