Absolutely hysterical. Thanks for the laugh, the hoops one has to jump through in order to get 2 consecutive months of VIL in a row is truly mind numbing especially with no open time. Gotta make sure those 3 landings are in after the 15th, but ALAS! We open the VIL bids on the 14th close on the 18th and crew trac landings update at the end of the month! “Insert back and forth email chain with OSC records and Crew planning for incorrectly denied VIL award”

It amazes me they’re so worried about saving money that they trip over themselves tasking a handful of crew planners to go line by line through hundreds of pilots who requested VIL and make sure they won’t lose landing currency. God forbid they go to OSC and log 3 bounces.

It’s why I don’t have buy in on the whole we are up **** creek narrative. If they were that concerned they’d award the leave lines and not worry about landings.
