similar story here. The “who gets called first” hierarchy kinda sucks.
I’m just always amazed at how many trips are in open time, how deep red the pool display is, and how there are apparently no more captain spots to be had in the base.
at this point, just give everyone a line and staff trips with premium pay. Flying 4 on, 2 off (throw in 3 off here and there), especially as a commuter, is a quick path to burnout.
final point: I know commuting is a choice, but have any other commuters found that it has been excruciatingly difficult the past 3-4 months? I’m not even talking summer loads. It seems like 90% of the flights are massively delayed or straight up canceled. And this is other airlines, too. I don’t ever remember it being this bad. I think I’ve had one on-time commute in the past three months.
