The difference being the pilot group was willing to get ‘er done for premium pay. Then flight ops destroyed the delta difference.

What’s a SIL
the optimizer
LCA trip releases
PB days
reliability letters
sick call witch hunts
And more….

Focus of effort…. Everyone at an airline works to support the pilots. We are the focus of effort. Without pilots, nothing happens. Until they realize that again, the airline will continue to slowly circle…

And before those of you that don’t understand focus of effort get all ****y, go look it up. 20 years as a USMC pilot, how often where we the focus of effort? Exactly zero. Doesn’t mean your job isn’t important, just identifies a potential singular point of failure.
