Sick calls are a drop in the bucket, not appreciable to the volume of flights.

OT pickup is lower but by about 1/4. That could be long weekend, burnout, JA possibility on pick ups etc. I’m sure the data guys will break that down.

In light of any other information I would have to say this is mismanagement of the operation. No slack built into schedule and a minor disruption explodes. Since Spirit just went through this a few months back it reaffirms my belief. We shall see as more information is I am sure forthcoming.

On a side note the union and pilots better cross their fingers it’s not an illegal job action. GK will press the case if he has the ability too, he’s leaving so no better present to the Bob than crush the union on the way out the door.
