GSs mean lack of staffing. Lack of staffing means no ability to drop trips and adjust schedule. Lack of staffing means high ALVs. High “optimized” ALVs means guys are working harder and getting fatigued. Lack of staffing means reroutes to cover flying that would normally be covered by a reserve. I can keep going but I certainly hope you get the point.
We took a huge hit in QoL this summer. So instead of asking why is the union waging a war against green slips, maybe we should be asking why you and the company are waging a war against our QoL?
Thank you. I couldn’t have said it better. If guys want to fly on their days off, all the power to them, but when I can’t swap a trip in mid October because it’s one day different, because reserves available isn’t adequate, somethin’ ain’t right, as they say in Kentucky.
