They simply refuse to solve crew food issues. They overload dispatch into making many more mistakes than ever before. They overload every department to near failure almost every day. Watch training as it totally implodes, even with the now lowered hiring numbers they announced recently (I'm not talking about experience levels, just the amount of pilots they plan on hiring). The mismanagement is actually probably going to help us get an improved contract offer since they need the pilots to fix their mistakes more and more every day.

I will admit that it will always be an on-demand job and will never have major airline QOL, but there is room for some reasonable inprovements through punative OT when they schedule poorly. If it is expensive enough, they will improve the scheduling to do something about it. That said, anyone that wants majors QOL needs to go to the majors.
