The company is wasting boat loads of money through the crew desk. Unused short calls are rampant. Capt's flying as F/O's. I'm all for unused short calls, stay at home and get paid for it. I have that option. I just wish there was something for the guys that commute to reserve. I want short calls, commuters don't. Many times the crew desk gets it backwards. If we had some latitude on that it would help both sides.

Next contract. Yeah, maybe. That's what we said last time.

Sometime soon the company is going to wake up to this fact. Then the crew desk will get adversarial again when they can't staff the airline.
