This LOA is just a band-aid trying to cover the gaping self inflicted wound they gave themselves by not recalling/hiring 3-6 months earlier than they did.
Agreed that this problem, just like most of them, is self inflicted by management.
But the minimum daily or something is still needed. 11 hour four days wouldn’t happen. AAG would have to give Envoy some better flight files. The reality is having fewer larger regionals would help optimize things.
