Operation is running on red line
There is no way that this weekend isn’t a statement that we are running at red line. During normal ops it’s okay, but this is a bad weekend.
We have had crew cancellations. Sure.
We also have flights going at insanely late hours. For example, last night 1720 DTW to GRR. 3:19am departure. 4:11am arrival. Delayed 4:36.
That’s one I saw on the board that stood out to me. Several others significantly delayed. Some until 9AM today. We still completed the flights, but what a mess.
There is no way that this can’t go unnoticed by the 4th floor crowd. With LCWs 75-90 not being sustainable, ANY hiccup in our operation, especially in a hub sends us off the deep end.
We were also 3:20 late last night. Waiting for a captain. My captain timed out because of a green slip that he picked up the other night to cover them during a storm.
This is not sustainable long term.
