Sorry it cut into your profit sharing. Do you feel the same about grossly over-manned categories where Delta pays pilots to sit at home and hardly turn a wheel?
But if it makes you feel better, blame crew resources, since it seems like you are intent on finding a fall guy.
They displaced from the 350 a few AE's ago -- when they were grossly understaffed and knew it would only get worse. There's no way that made any sense. They should have carried the fat if necessary.
