At the end of the day, we've reached an interesting place. RJ flying is quickly returning to mainline, and mainline fleets like the 320, 737, and 757 have the ability to do transcons and 1 hr legs efficiently. This perfect storm allows the optimizer to "optimize" the pairing. More over, RJs can't do transcons so redeyes were not at the regionals. Combine all those factors and we've reached a Brave new world in the Airline Industry. With critical staffing persisting for quite some time, I don't see things changing any time soon. Pilots will just have to deal with it.
On the brightside, there is PLENTY of movement and every pilot on the list will have an opportunity to find happiness SOMEWHERE. Bid WB anything you can hold on the next AE. Sign up for SLI. Sign up to work in the CPO. If you live in ATL go be senior on the 320/717/737 in ATL drop your trips and wait for short leg out and back 2 days.

I’m not emotional and not accusing you of a thing my friend. I just call balls and strikes. Our rotations are a far cry from what they were before the optimizer. If we don’t do something about it with this current contract, we will have more of the same. What I cannot abide is our own justifying why it is necessary.
