You can make false statements about running short being the result of MLOA, sick leave abuse, failure of pilots to fly enough overtime or any other misnomer, but that's MH2O you're carrying.
Works for me...class action lawsuit for discrimination ought to pay out even better than an OE buy-off.
See above. The data will, indeed, easily demonstrate hiring discrimination against military members should Delta go down the path of tweaking their formula to reduce exposure to them.
I reread my post and I should have been more clear. The MLOA is but one small factor. I agree with your assessment of the many factors of our being short staffed. I failed to expand my analysis. My apologies if I came across as carrying MH2O...🤔
My point was that a statistically significant number of current reservists the company has hired are out long term and that affects how they view potential future candidates.
If you look at the number of people out as a percentage of new hires who are current reservists, it's easily double digits.
Short staffed new hire fleets are a direct result of the company's action and inaction, and it will continue to be for the foreseeable future.
