Or
Fair point or you can take the job, say you will not do such haneous things, call in sick, and get conditions to improve. I am assuming that is why you have a new deal. Conditions have to improve or people will leave. With everyone hiring, it's not rocket science. Reading here, you're right, not many will come but those that do, and may be 737 qualified, will have a say in what they will and will not do. Those already on property being continually abused, will just leave. It will cost them more in the long run.
Again, though, how often are those really bad days happening?
Thanks again for the info.

If the question is referring to the booking of deadheads (via-via-via), that is normal and you will do that on basically every trip you do. Miami Air is a small company (and cheap company), so they look at every dollar they spend. They will literally put you on a "via via via" itinerary instead of a direct flight if it saves them five dollars on the ticket- and the direct flights are almost always more expensive then the "via via via" options.
Travel basically puts in airport "A" and airport "B" on multiple travel websites and then goes after the cheapest ticket. They don't care if it's three flights with hours and hours of sit time in between flights- they only care about spending the least amount of money possible to get you from point A to point B.
So if you want to see what examples are... go to any of the travel sites and put in two airports and then search by "cheapest" and you will see what a typical Miami Air deadhead day looks like...

It's rather unfortunate, when it comes to the troops, MAI has the mantra of stepping over a dollar to pick up a penny.
Could anyone at MAI chime in to see if those in MGT are more equal than the rank and file when it comes to deadheading?

I have to say... I enjoyed Ross's jokes. He enjoyed his role as Pres. of the Co. and Captain of the jet. I never found him to be unapproachable during my tenure at MAI. The place had a different atmosphere when his was the the controls of the company.

Question
Are things in fact better now with the new contract?
That worldwide pxing in coach, no meal, will not give people a warm and fuzzy.
With the new EAL/Swift announcment, and no more training contract at Miami Air, I might think quite a few will jump over, would'nt you?

The configurations have changed actually since 117 kicked in.
Miami Air removed the first two rows of economy (1DEF & 2DEF) and installed two "domestic first class type" recliner seats and installed a curtain around the seats. They made the seats recline a bit more than 40 degrees to their definition of "near lie flat" (it's actually like 45 degrees maybe- keep in mind 90 degrees would actual be lie flat) and then had the FAA sign it off as a Class 2 Rest Facility. It's a total joke really.... but it is better then the old 30A and sitting next to two passengers at 30B & 30C. But how they got the FAA to sign off that these seats are "near lie flat" still amazes me. But that's Miami Air for ya... always looking for the gray area or the short cut...

Not to worry. You’ll still qualify for food stamps on first year salary.
