any of us with a brain knew it wouldn’t take long for those complaints to start rolling back in again. I haven’t heard many calls for furloughs from that crowd over the summer

Were there incentive lines for FO in September? There’s trips in open time again for captains at least in SEA. Although there are 7 “advertising” for work in open time for today and tomorrow…

Considering we haven’t had a single flex month since getting PBS I don’t think we are understaffed. The ALV with PBS can be pushed to 85+2.

(Edit)
FWIW on the navblue page it says the maximum ALV is 88…

yes it says 88 because Navblue is an Airbus company and they use the metric system.

Understaffed for October? Not likely. Understaffed for August? Most definitely.

I just think instead of 70 hour ALV for every base seems like October they are higher ALVs but more reserves maybe the company realized already that 12% coverage is about to blow up on them in September
