The reality Cirrus or another non name brand part 135 is a buisness. They are in it for one thing money. You don’t make money by parking an airplane for 10 days in a high volume city. If staffing an issue then make sure you have plenty of crews. If not “. You will find out who’s skinny dipping when the tide goes out”
That sucks that happened to you and your family.
Of course no company wants to park an airplane for 10 days a month. And like I’ve said, we’ve had crewing issues. The chief pilot I know is working to get enough crews to sustain the 17/13 captain schedule. When there isn’t enough pilots to sustain that schedule for a given airplane. The pilots picking up the slack are compensated. I gave an example in my previous post.
