Blue flu? Is this some form of protest? Wild accusation against the character of the pilots. Is it crazy if this is true or is it just normal labor guerilla warfare.
Me thinks you're stirring the pot! It's just an analyst offering different guesses. No, there's no labor action, just a lot of expired crews that are poorly tracked combined with poor planning.
iCrew will show expired right on your schedule but unless the magic code is also on there, you're not flagged in their system. DBMS strikes again. I wonder if they're ready to upgrade to modern scheduling software now...HAHAHAHA!!
