I have presented several strategies directly to the EXCO over the years, one of which was used and nearly resulted in the firing of one of our pilots. The other strategies were deemed far too extreme, which I understood, but at the same time it's unfortunate. I won't hesitate to offer new ideas in the future and I support our EXCO specifically. I disagree that attrition is an effective strategy right now because it leaves the ball in their court to do whatever they need to mitigate it. Again, they could just re-alocate crew as contracts expire, or partially farm contracts out or cancel them, not seek business that would tax their Amazon/DHL operations too heavily, 767 staffing is fat leaving opportunities for efficiency gains partially negating this strategy, they are still mostly filling classes, etc... Its a closed end strategy for our side and that's what makes it weak because they have options to deal with it. They do not have immediate options to deal with parking jets. The execs seem to have thrown the keys out the window per se, so how do you deal with a group who doesn't seem to care either way? They will always get theirs...
