I saw the oversold flights first hand...saw the delayed and cancelled flights in/out of FL first hand. It was a micro-snap shot of the bigger system....lots of demand for up/down the east coast during a two week period in April and we didn't have the pilots to support it. It does make sense.
I don't even remember the exact discussion but I still fail to see how any of what you wrote has anything to do with the real issue (improper staffing and management incompetence)? Doesn't this weekend and the last few just prove you wrong? If things are worse now than they were during spread break then the problem isn't related to spring break. What does spring break have to do with anything? The company is running on fumes, spring break or not.
