I think you're referring to MH from Mesa, he's actually at the Colgan side ruining our schedules and our lives since he got hired. until very recently all the hub lines were way underguarantee with like 12 days off on average even for "senior" lines. Yet for the past how many months there have been like 500 hrs of open time which they juniorman/extend lineholders with constantly. It just doesn't make sense, and when someone asked him why not just build lines more efficiently and not extend people with all that open time, he came up with some BS excuse like the open time wouldn't fit into the building of the lines anyway. (and yet starting next month they magically came up with these new efficient lines because now it suits their needs.) That is what Mesa guys have told me as well.. apparently it was pretty bad during MH's reign over there. Why do airlines hire these rejects from other failing airlines???????????????????????????
anyway about this memo yeah it's pretty damn infuriating. Why didnt/dont they just hire??????? I mean I know pinnacle is cheap as hell but it's costing them more with all these cancellations is it not?
