That is why we continue to see VILs offered in that seat, and we will continue to see them in that seat until the bids eventually fix that overstaffed situation. It isn't so much that the whole airline is overstaffed. It's that certain seats in certain places are fatter than needed.
Yeah, I get that not as many went to Florida as planned. The company still builds the pairings month to month and distributes the flying between the bases. Just because not as many guys went to FL as planned doesn't mean they can't reaccomodate now for that right?
