I'm sorry, but Comair has never been properly staffed. When you have nearly half of the pilot group on reserve, something ain't right! Reserves are there to cover sick calls, displaced crews, ferry flights, but not to cover a bunch of Open Time. When you are Junior Manning or extending people, you are not properly staffed! Also, once in a while pilots want to actually use a personal day or vacation time, but when your request is denied because of "staffing", then you are no properly staffed! Comair always seems to run out of crews on bad weather days. To Comair, properly staffed means unused reservists! As long as there are reservists not being used, they think they are properly staffed. Nothing going? Let's just put 'em on ready reserve so they are being utilized!

They want us to come over to the GO to find out the big picture? It should be the other way around, they need to come out and see what we have to deal with and talk with us Pilots, F/As out on the front line. God forbid they would listen to us that are actually out there dealing with the daily BS!

As far as recalls... Well, I guess I'll crap in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first.
