Is increased utilization a bad thing? Personally I’d love for this place to be the model of efficiency. My opinion is that a very efficient (properly staffed and managed) operation would result in more consistent hiring and progression than the ever changing staffing model that we have now. It would also allow the company to better compete and be a long term success providing us with long term employment and more leverage to demand better contracts in the future. I’d love to see trips fly 6.5+ per day so I could get my hours in 12 days and go home. I’d also like to win the lottery and allow all of those junior to me to move up a number, but I digress. My guess is that either option has an equal probability of happening.
