This is where a "think tank" comes in handy. Put a bunch of heads together to come up with ideas, troubleshoot them, and get it done. I have sat through winters, summers in several bases on reserve. Never gotten more than 5 sc, and I got those 5 with nothing else done in the month. Funny.
Very valid points. And I think that ACL is correct too in identifying this same problem. The 54 thousand dollar question is: How do we fix this? I think the fortunate thing and it happens to come at a time when we are combining two different groups and cultures is that the old "Don't worry son.. you'll be senior some day" attitude so prevalent in past years at DAL are gone... hopefully. I
almost wouldn't mind leaving the guarantee at 70 hours.. and getting a 3 hour credit for each SC.. or something like that.. 5 would be nice, but I can't imagine the company buying off on that. I think the result would be that SC reserves would actually get used.. what a concept.
So... about this think tank....
