Focusing on OTZ and/or MEA just isn’t the right direction. Even if you assume they are line pilots trying to do the “right thing” for pilots, they are still referencing managements view of the situation.

Let’s be honest, management does not have “our” interests in mind. I think we can all agree on that. Now we can ask ourselves, Is the management of Flight Ops competent? I’d say judging by the volume of demonstrable errors on their part in the wake of this pandemic it’s easy to question their competence. So you have corporate assets that don’t care about you or your contract and they are quite possibly incompetent...

Those number that OTZ post could absolutely be the “truth” that Flight Ops management sees. But have they explored innovative ways to solve these problems? Hell, they can’t execute a bid and it sounds like we a STILL waiting to actually negotiate early out options....

All Im saying is OTZ isn’t the problem, managements questionable competence is.
