I promise you it is. I get calls on almost every off day I have. When they call, I don’t answer, but I look at open time and it is very obvious that they have staffing problems.
If you’re looking for printed proof from the company admitting that their delays are coming from lack of staffing, you won’t find that. They don’t like to admit it because lack of pilots gives us leverage (not that we do anything with leverage anyway #onepercent). But if you’re paying attention to open time, you can see the problems are plain as day.
And to make it worse, they are hidden. I can get a call from them asking to cover a trip. I look on open time, see the trip. Then at departure time when it still isn’t covered, it is either delayed further, or magically coded as a maintenance or weather cancelation. Weird huh?
