It’s the loss of operational control every time it happens. You can’t lose control of the operation. You can’t have crews stuck for days and no way to get ahold of anyone. How many crews are canceled and won’t receive a call to inform them they are canceled, etc? How many crews are having to secure their own hotels because nobody on the company side will do it? That’s kind of the larger issue, losing operational control to the point where your crews are stranded out throughout the system and realizing it will likely be days until scheduling even gets to them, so it’s every crew to fend for themselves. That’s the larger issue

Reminds me of 2015 where we lost operational control and guys were saying screw it and flying home. Scheduling would call them a few days later and ask where they were, “I went home.”

I’m canceled for today, no call of course. No scheduling modification. So I won’t go to the airport even though we haven’t been modified off the pairing. Hotel? They aren’t reachable to secure us a room so looks like I’ll have to ask the hotel to extend or use the credit card for reimbursement. Point is, the operation shouldn’t collapse annually like it does and lose operational control.
