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.

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.

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