You may attribute intentionality to the actions of scheduling where I think in many ways it is sheer incompetence and undermanning, but perhaps we agree it was unsustainable. Since I'd like to find wins that return us to proper application of seniority, a trip assignment timeline that is favorable to QOL (and not just the minority who can or wish to exploit system chaos for financial gain at financial expense of those who cannot or will not), and because systemic chaos ultiately hurts our brand and profitability/market share...I see some benefit to the agreement we came to. It's not the agreement I would have pursued but I do think it's better than its precedent. It's also attributable to the MEC and not just to DH.
I think we are saying the same thing. By health of the commitee I mean there is no capacity for anything else and SK is in charge of that. Other responsibilies were not getting the proper attention because burnout by members doing what should have been Delta's accounting reposibility was consuming the committee. I stand by my accusations of deliberate action. The scheduler level stuff was not intentional but the continued chaos was by design from above for a specific purpose, as was weaponization of 23.M.7. It was still too little a quid and would not have passed MEMRAT, so it wasn't ever going to be attempted.
