software like Merlot??? you are so ignorant about scheduling it is laughable. there is no way allegiant scheduling dept could handle multi day trips all over the system. our schedulers cannot even keep flight attendant and pilot work rules separate, they are always mixing up legalities, required rest times, etc.
this is fear mongering and it is buying right into management's strategy of scaring us into overnight trips and "changing the business model" from day trips to 5 day trips.
