Yes . . . unfortunately . . my 'spousal unit' has broken the code too . . keeps finding SLJ's for me to do. Somehow I feel like a jg. . or Ensign again.

If you work for brown, you don't schedule, you just put out fires at the command of contingency.

Oh yeah, you don't care about the contract or rest cycles either...

If you're having a hard time covering the open trips now, wait until you have to salvage the latest bid package that your company just published.

The pencil pushers and bean counters continue to optimize our bid package schedules, repeating old errors, building bogus commercial pairings, and planning 24 hour rest periods after long international flights. Now how am I supposed to get two rest cycles in a 24 hour period? Oh, that's right, the clods building this mess don't fly it, and don't care about service or safety.
