This “2000 overstaffed” is brought to us by the same group that in 2015 was saying upgrade time for newbies will be 16+ years and the time to hold ATL being about 10 years.

When you have new hires regularly being able to get premium 3 day trips in DOT and use the overlap to lose their first trips of the month in order to reduce the TFP threshold to qualify for second year rate, I wouldn’t call that being “staffed correctly.” In fact, it’s rather comical to go back and read some of the posts from 2015-2016 timeframe and daily complaints about getting JA’d and then watch the same people now griping about being “overstaffed by 2000” especially when that’s almost how many people were hired between then and now. Kinda hard to take people throwing these numbers seriously...

We are indeed overstaffed. Hands down. By 2000? Not even close.
