Will March suck a big bag of deeks for senior folks who want max days off? Yes. Actually it looks like the whole summer will suck for those guys.
But for new hires? This is as good as it gets,
That is unless career progression is important to you. If so, go to a wholly owned with a flow. While there, put your apps in at the other majors.
DGI is improved, but still not even close to a flow.
Wow. I may have to eat some crow on this. The 2nd Mock bid for ATL 200 Captains shows guys with two digit seniority numbers with 13 days off. Yeah, it's a 28 day bid month, but that is still a stiff kick in the jimmy/box for senior pilots!
They better somehow fix the staffing or this is gonna be a big fat suck for performance. People with 2 digit seniority numbers and a veteran's tolerance for sick call occurrences, will not support such an operation and the classes aren't being filled well enough to make up for that reality. Wow! Just wow!
