Almost a year since the TA was rejected and what is happening?
The 717 in NYC and ATL can not cover the flight schedule. Almost every trip is covered with a GS or GSWC. 737s starting to pick up 717 flying.
Could this be the beginning of the very rapidly increasing training churn? Will it spread to the 88s other NB B positions shortly? What about when heavy guys start retiring in very large numbers from the A side of the house?
The company thought we would be almost 1 year into C2015 by now - hard to say how much more efficient the company would have been under C2015 but either way I bet the company did not plan on being where we are now.
It will not be easy but we do have leverage.
