Default Cancellations

Anyone have the total cancellation numbers for the weekend. I only looked at yesterday's. Alaska had 5 cancelled flights, 3 of those due to lack of pilot crew. Horizon had 20 cancelled flights, 17 due to lack of pilot crew.

I know on the Alaska side, we had a number of cancellations on Saturday. I heard flight 68 cancelled because they couldn't find a captain to cover it.

The new bid isn't going to help the summer schedule.

"We are adequately staffed."

I would venture to guess the company can't gauge the new bid since the bottom is falling out. There are several FOs who've been hired elsewhere just waiting for a class date or sitting on the fence about to pull the trigger.

The should over-plan, for once. I don't think management has the foggiest idea how many guys hired in the last few years are set to bail. Better to get in front of the hiring needs...instead of planning on ridiculously optimistic assumption of retention.

Aboslute troof here. When I was in class, JH welcomed us and said that so many people say they'll leave when The Widget or SWA or someone else calls "but when they get here and find out what a great family we are and what a great place it is to work, they don't ever leave. In fact, in the 6 years I've been hiring, we've only seen maybe half a dozen go."

So since that happened a few months ago and I apparently became number 7, I also know numbers 8, 9, and 10. They do need a reality check, or it's just going to get worse for you guys. Everyone, work groups and management, needs to look at the QX cautionary tale.

What's the Horizon cautionary tale? The same one playing across the regional industry (few pilots left to hire)?

How management's going to play you, and how that's bad for recruiting and turnover.

Of course, JH's half dozen in 6 years figure is complete BS.

Anyway, congratulations on making the move. Onward and upward. Good luck.

JH and his peers/bosses are company robots with 2 memory slots, one to deposit funds and the other to play company propaganda. Most dangerous soulless beings are those who'll do anything for money.
