SIG is still involved in trying to apply some common sense to the pairings constructed by the company. They just don't win as much as they should.
Or as much as they used to. At this point, the SIG just keeps the FAA off the company's back. If it costs twelve cents to improve a trip...the crews are going to lose now.
Don't believe it? Take a look at a bidpack--or your schedule--from 6 months ago. Then take a look at your 4a2b pay stub while you're at it.
