So ... not only am I getting 4.a.2.b'd but I'm having to spend extra days in MEM because of commuting problems.
It must be part of the new management philosophy,
"We're not happy until you're not happy."
Can't be MayDay. "O" says folks are able to move and drop. And the Optimizer is a myth too. Those >8 hr pairings and shorter and shorter layovers are a figment of our imaginations.
BTW, the shorter blocks are to make up for the drop of the one R day per month. They also count a day dropped for some of our buffers as the drop too. You didn't actually think they were going to give us a free day, did you? At least the flexes got their 2 days off. Good for them.
We are being asked to ignore the man behind the Green curtain. "O" must be in on the misinformation campaign on some level.
He can't really believe it all, right?
