Agree with the earlier posts though, they won’t do anything about it till they are in crisis mode so sadly it will likely get worse before it gets better.
Moral of the story.......SHOULD’VE FLOWN THE JET! 😂
Converting to airport is a common practice at any airline. Union wanted only one pilot per seat to be sitting airport, so it makes sense that if airport reserve gets sick or whatever, they have to send someone new to airport. But yeah, airport is tough! Hopefully you were able to take good naps
