I wondered what happened to this disputed pairing (there are only 2 of them in MEM 11 CAP open time). I was NOT surprised to see that there are many of this trip still unassigned in f/o open time (good job f/o's!). I WAS surprised to see that at least 9 days of these trips are being flown by only 2 Capt's (Apparently for straight time? One of the a former manager!).
No wonder the SIG can't get rid of fatiguing and onerous trips like this!*?
