A simple plot with 365 segments of “# pilots on sick per day”. Sure there could be ‘factors’ within that simple data, but when every single peak, several orders of magnitude high above an otherwise flat baseline, is 100% correlated to a holiday, Valentine’s Day, Super Bowl, and May, a 6 year old can grasp the bigger picture in one glance.
Look, ALPA has its faults, and needs to be taken with a grain of salt a times, ok? But you are sticking your head in the sand if you just wave all this away.
I’m done. Believe what you want.
Yup. An ALPA group who brought us 2012 which gave up profit sharing and TA1 which gave up a lot more. I can't imagine any ALPA person since then that would willingly push a chart like that since the house cleaning took place. ALPA has no way to track that data. They only use what management provides them, and that is going to spin it their way.
