From a cost perspective I'm certain if they are not doing a certain amount of Jr assigning then they are losing money. These are business decisions, the wisdom of which notwithstanding; they are cold and calculated - end of story.
And I agree with FLY IFR; yes, we all have battered wife syndrome.
What surprises me is that we continue to be surprised.
These are business decisions? Anyone who has taken a 100 level business course in college would recognize these as terrible business decisions. Yeah we are in terrible shape as it is and they are going to continue to blow any little chance they have of United resigning a contract with them. If I was United management I would be very angry as well. I would make an ultimatum with MAG and tell them I would resign them as long as they got a whole new management team who knew what the hell they were doing, enough is enough already! If you are short staffed and junior assigning people, all signs point to bringing more people on property, it's common sense! Sometimes I seriously wonder if MAG management is purposely trying to do this for some sick and twisted reason...
