It's maddening.
Moving crews around every month is great when we are hiring and upgrading at the same time, but the last 18 months or so has left me wondering if crew planning actually talks to their bosses or if they just do their own thing. They should have just done every 3 months or even just shut down the monthly vacancies for a full 6 months.
The December bid was terrible. January will be even worse. It's going to take a solid 6 months of hiring to unscrew this mess.
