No, I agree. But it’s not like they don’t know about a leap year in advance. My point was more that for him to even mention the leap year, is insulting.
Edited to add, I’ve been saying for months that we will be understaffed this summer. Recently one of the ADG asked me what evidence I had that were are or will be understaffed. Here you go. They could have started to hire earlier to prepare for a leap year, if it was truly going to have that much impact. I’ve been here 24 years. Never in that time have they mentioned a leap year affecting vacation, ALVs, or staffing.
