Many chose 121 over 135 because of the schedule flexibility that 121 is supposed to offer. It’s understandable why that might not be possible when an outfit is short staffed, but indefensible when grossly overstaffed. I don’t know, maybe management acts like they don’t care because they want to drive people away at this point. I’ve heard that the training dept isn’t allowing do overs on LOE failures at this point.
