This and there is significant inefficiency in the style of point to point flying we're doing these days.

They've also been understaffed on the CA side of things in both MCO and LAS. As a DEN reserve guy, I would estimate at least 1:/2 my assignments begin and/or end with a deadhead to or from MCO or LAS.

Further, even when I'm not deadheading around to cover flying in other domiciles, I'd estimate at least a third of my flying is spent in the passenger compartment versus the left seat.

My message to the Company would be to stop building such inefficient pairings and ...wait for it... efficiency will improve! Seems axiomatic to me, but apparently not readily apparent to those at the puzzle palace.
