Crew Scheduling Today
Seems to me, crew scheduling is doing more to "burn cash" than any other department right now. For example: Today, DH SEA-SFO. 30 hour layover. Tomorrow, DH SFO-EWR. 25 hour layover. Sunday, Operate EWR-SEA with entire crew that that operated the flight to EWR deadheading.
My rotation last week was much of the same. And the pairings were planned this way on day 1 of my reserve block! Not a rolling cancellation thing that changed last minute. WTF is going on with CS??

Well to be honest the moneys already been burned regardless of what they do this month besides the guys who look the unpaid last minute April leave. All line holders are pay protected, and if reserve you are getting 79 hours.
Next month is when we will see their attempt at reducing pilot costs.

Ask the contract shuttle drivers how many no shows they have been dealing with recently. My unofficial poll shows about 1/10 show/no show for crews. Are these contracted monthly and therefor already paid for, or are they wasting cash every time?
How about hotel rooms? Monthly blocks or pay per stay?
Per diem is for sure a cost, but I wonder about the rest. Regardless, it's a waste of our time to do this and an unnecessary risk.
Edit: Oops realized this isn't even a thread for my company. So it's all of us!
