What if the same thing happened several times on Tuesday?
Also, it’s sad/funny that half the gripes are are about batch sizes being too large, the other half is about CS covering out of order because it takes too long to run through the ladder, but no one has an issue with people putting in blanket GS which slows down the process, prevents commuters from getting it before last flight of the night, and the delay our customers encounter when CS reroutes a crew, making their day longer, sometimes without any extra pay. Don’t put in a blanket GS if you’re not willing to fly a 5:15 early report or use the do not call during these hours function you, please. Let’s help ourselves with out here.
As usual, as pilots we are our own worst enemies. Probably half of the ones with blanket green slips in with no intention of flying double cover themselves by calling into CS and asking to be RR or for a GS.
