ALPA expects Maestro to be absolutely perfect and free of all bugs from day 1, and that is completely unreasonable.

Also, with ALPA's latest doom and gloom email, whats with them saying that we're already short staffed and it will be worse in July and August? People everywhere (even 700/900 F/Os) are complaining that they're not getting enough hours. I saw some JFK F/Os that only flew an out/back all May. Short staffed? Baloney!
