I must have missed the part where you were with me during all of my experiences. Some of us have interned, worked and participated in industry groups well outside of the front end of the aircraft. This industry wasn’t always an open door to cockpit positions.
As far as IROPs, no carrier in the world has enough personnel on hand to truly handle an IROP. Most opcenters have way too many people on hand during normal ops, and nowhere near enough when things go down, just ask DAL re April of last year. Until we improve our automation or develop faster on demand workforce scalability, that is our reality.
