You mean the committee back when we had, what, a fraction of the green slips a month that go out compared with today?
It’s easy to have a 3 or 4 people and a handful of staff when there’s plenty of pilots and everything just percolates along with a couple hundred green slips a month across the whole airline.
ACE has made it so easy to file a report, everyone does it. I flew with one guy who said “yea, I file one everyone month that just says “here’s my schedule, find me money”. I’m sure that doesn’t help the turnaround time.
