Seems like what they do now is use up nearly all of the reserves, and then skip GS to go straight to IA at the last minute.
If they started pushing out GS ARCOS calls sooner, when it’s obvious they’re short staffed, they could find the extra help they need and have the reserves available to cover last minute stuff.
In other words, isn’t the primary factor here the fact that they wait so long to start covering trips?
You’re talking about a coverage ladder shakeup…that just happened and rolls out with this new PWA. Earlier coverage, and the option to premium-pay earlier to theoretically preserve reserves.
Personally, I’d like to see how these and other C19 provisions play out while we’re still understaffed in August before we go changing more things about trip coverage that will surely have more unintended consequences.
