Will not be the norm as the pilot group right sizes.
Not incorrect but (as you know) AA guys with 2-ish+ years on are getting 3 day lines then dropping and trip trading on TTS and "rebuilding" their schedules with mostly weekdays worked and mostly weekends off. Indeed this may require a 4-Day from Mon to Thur. 1 and 2 day trips still super senior
Reservists with 2+ years are in top 25% of reserve seniority in most months and basically can get anyday they want off.
Yes, there are 4000 seniority Captains that "forget to bid" or "I don't understand that PBS stuff" and will b1tch and groan the entire trip about how AA sucks
Pilots will be pilots
