Crew Scheduling Today
Seems to me, crew scheduling is doing more to "burn cash" than any other department right now. For example: Today, DH SEA-SFO. 30 hour layover. Tomorrow, DH SFO-EWR. 25 hour layover. Sunday, Operate EWR-SEA with entire crew that that operated the flight to EWR deadheading.
My rotation last week was much of the same. And the pairings were planned this way on day 1 of my reserve block! Not a rolling cancellation thing that changed last minute. WTF is going on with CS??
