For the past year, our future schedule has far outstripped our manpower.

The company would make 4,000 flights available even with 25% of the pilots out. They posted aggressive schedules, sold tickets, then cut flights and reaccomodated passengers 6 weeks out.

So what you are worried about is and has been irrelevant for some time, but is also besides the point.

My point is that it’s funny that this pilot group whines when there is no premium and then whines when there is premium.

I keep hearing about the ‘good old days’ when even junior folk could get premium.... what was it like when you were hired here?

I hope SWAPA pushes through the “check this box to volunteer for JA”. Might make for less whining.... but then again these people love to whine.
