OK, we have had the 9 hour Short-calls for all of this month and I have yet to hear any of the horror stories. Many were sure this travesty would result in every Pilot maxing out on 6-7 short-calls per month.



Well since its almost the end of November and I have yet to see anyone post about this I got curious and checked tomorrows reserve list, LAX 737 A.


Here are the number of short-calls assigned so far: 2,3,2,5,2,4,2,6,2,4,0,2.


I know its only anecdotal and 1 month is not much to go on but remember the Nov 6 memo that detailed how many fewer SC's we sat this year vs last year? Could it be that this was not an nefarious plan developed by Mr, excuse me, Dr. Evil after all?



Maybe in some category guys are getting hosed - I hope not. The point here is that there are plenty of legitimate things to gripe about but by painting everything as the "World is ending," Oh woe is us, we lose credibility. Lets continue to call out the real turds but lets not pretend everything is a turd.
