Much respect to the crews making that happen. If they need more bodies to build schedules that stick to one side of the clock, we've got plenty to spare.
The schedules just got a lot worse too. Now we are constantly getting R statuses. If you’re not on a required rest period or a 1/7, you’ll basically be on a duty of some sort. It’s like you’re always on call for a flight, breathalyzer/UA, or deadhead now.
