ASA Pilot Overage?
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say that it is a bit confusing to me how the current status of the company as well as the industry is considered "starved" by a supposed pilot shortage. This confusion is caused by the fact that I have been sitting here on reserve without a call for over a week now. I have called scheduling and they say they have nothing. I know of several reserve guys that are flying on a regular basis. Some say they have to call scheduling just to see if there is anything. All this and I bet you somewhere out there a pilot is being worked to fatique and hasn't had a day off in 4-5 days. I think the real problem lies within a combination of a very small pilot shortage and a major scheduling efficiency problem. Not trying to put down any schedulers as I know they are just doing their jobs but the system could really use some work. Anybody else feel this or is it just me?
