Totally controllable, staffing issues. Too bad passengers are getting the bad end of the deal regarding poor staffing.
You see this Bob, Bendo, Jyri? Of course you do...this is what you get.
Yeah they have called me the past 3 nights in a row. I didn't pick up the phone because I was sleeping. I am willing to bet that those trips were open well before I went to bed, but scheduling is so overwhelmed when things go off track that they can't keep up. A lack of bodies and experience in crew scheduling will be the cause of the next meltdown. Of course they will blame it on the pilots when they file a lawsuit against alpa. Then they will tell the passengers it is "weather" when we cancel. I truly think we have a successful business model but I have very little faith in our management to execute it.
