Maybe we could staff the airline appropriately and we’d have reserves to continue the flight. 4 legs on a 190 with a planned 3 hour sit doesn’t equal a summer season in the northeast.
Profit sharing .002. This year they’ll make $1billion net profit. We have a very serious Operational problem. Management needs to fix it. It’s not impossible. But hubris prevails.
Wait till a Tropical system rears it’s head. “Running Hot this summer”.

I mean I get where you're coming from but they are on the verge of hiring 500 people this year so what else would you like them to do to get to a properly staffed airline? If they weren't hiring at all you'd have a point about "not properly staffing an airline" as to de-escalating customers from being angry, I don't get involved.
