My question is, are these artificially created broken trip numbers being incorrectly counted towards the pilot behavior metric that RG is communicating to management?
Easy, don't trust anything that comes out of the gumsters mouth. I think the big change in pilot behavior happed around the march time frame which was induced by an email from him.
