This is a example of management failures. Not a pilot issue. The buck stops with Ed. He’s ultimately responsible. The team that he surrounds himself with, the decisions they make, and the way they execute all fall on his shoulders
When they start trip coverage (late or early) isn’t our problem. The whole scare crow argument that COVID was the end of the airline world and that for summer of 2022 we would need 5700 pilots to run the airline. Not our problem.
So here we are. Understaffed, over worked, mismanaged.
Might be helpful to get the handfuls of ALPA negotiating committee members back flying, subject matter experts, and everyone contributing to contract 2040. That would be a real treat. Surprise us with a contract in 2022!
At any rate mismanagement at its finest. Not pilot problems. Going to wait to see if they figure out how to run GSWC this week, or if they’ll just skip that step!!
