The only talk has been by line pilots that put out dumb rumors, we are overstaffed at PSA with reserves doing nothing. Our 200s will start doing ORD flying this summer.

Is that why they've been cancelling flying here at CVG due to a lack of pilots? Maybe that's why March lines look semi efficient.

I heard the same thing but 4 aircrafts not 5.

Every airline cancels flights due to crews every once in a while, that does not mean understaffed. If you want to see what understaffed looks like research how things were at PSA in Feb 2014, vacations and recurrent classes canceled and a couple 200s parked for a few months. As to the rumor of 200 going to AWAC I hope they send them all so our pay and goes up even more.

I hear ya. I like the 200 but I'd like the bump in pay better. I was here late in 2014 so I saw the tail end of the shortage. I think we are in store for a repeat of that staffing come April.

Odd as 405 (the Model) has new paint, and I've only heard about 401-404 gtting sidelined from idle chatter on the line. I'd love to see 401-404 go away, between terrible seats and gremlins that come with time and incidents... 402 hasn't been the same since getting the jack poked up its tail.

Also, 401-404 are, according to the FAA's registry, titled to AWAC. I wouldn't be surprised to see them become a huge parts storehouse.

Seems like the last few days, we have been having complete MX meltdowns. The OOS site had the most planes out that I have ever seen. These things are getting to the end of the line.

I misspoke. Rumor is 401-04. But I was also told 5 from PSA. Does this mean a net of 1 airframe? Or more to follow to the parts bin?

Stuff has been getting cancelled in DAY the past couple weeks as well from what I've heard. And to be honest. I've heard people in management say we are having a staffing issue, and I've heard other in management say, "we're actually over staffed". So which is it? Sometimes I think they don't even know. All I know is we need to be hiring more than we are if the plan is to not park airplanes and keep taking deliveries. And people don't want to come to PSA when our pay is now some of the worst in the industry. It was okay when our pay was decent and upgrades were happening left and right. But the game has changed (again). And our management doesn't seem very adept at keeping up with it.
