unstacking isn’t the big boogeyman people think it is. Being junior sucks. Get a helmet.
So just some data mining from the results for the base I pay attention to on the Captain side: 64% of the reserve pilots were unstacked for May. 37 pilots on reserve were not. 67 pilots on reserve were unstacked. I think this will become a much bigger issue for the pilot group for July. If the average line value is increased by managment and we see closer to 85+2 hours things could get ugly. It is a holiday month. In addition the majoirty of the block hour increase will be red eye flights. In SEA most of those trips will be ANC or FAI red eye turns and short backs to the east coast. Very few people are talking about this or like you are just outright dismissing it. It is my opinion that July will be a wake up call for many, depending on the ALV and how much the better than 50% pilots want to fly of course.
I chose CA SEA since it is our biggest base and most pilots would like to upgrade at some point.
