While I don't think we deserve more money, you are wrong if you don't think pilots have played a part in this streak. Coordinating with dispatch to get broken birds home and taking extensions to avoid cancellations are two things that I have done in the past few months that have helped the cause. Heck, one flight where we diverted due to mechanical and we were already released we agreed to come back to the airport to fly the plane home. Contractually, we were on rest and the company has no right to ask us to do that, but we did anyway...

But no, you're right. Pilots have nothing to do with the success of an airline. We should all just sit quietly in the flight deck, right?

It's a team effort, all around. Management, in flight, flight ops, dispatch, crew scheduling, etc. All parts have to be in sync for stuff like this to occur
