never, ever be overstaffed in the future. We will pull many of these threads up in 5 or 6 years and say "Do you remember when we only had to work 68 hours versus 78 hours in a four-week month???"
(This is making several assumptions, the price of oil will not hit $300/barrel, there is not a world catastrophe, FedEx isn't sold to the UAE, etc....).
Good Luck with bidding......

Prior to the Postal contract we had an LOA that was shot down because of too many what ifs. The company just raised the average BLG to cover the extra flying and all you heard was complaining about having to work more each month. Now we are at reduced BLG and all you hear is whinning about not making enough.
Are we ever going to be happy?
I know it was a stupid question - whining and complaining are required skills for this job
