Stick a fork in TSA as of 4/1 (unfortunately not an April fool's joke). Compass is rumored to be turning down shortly after that (4/6). Safe to say UA is protecting its partially-owned carriers (including us) by shifting flying sooner than expected. This may explain why our pairings weren't cut to a greater extent. Count your blessings....and say a prayer for the TSA people who are about to need to look for work.

For what it's worth, I've been watching the flows the last few days I've been off and we're flying full schedules. No cancellations from what I can see. Of course I don't know what the load averages are...we could be flying empty airplanes for all I know, but at least we're flying and getting paid for it.

Well this post aged like sour milk..
