You have to understand that the only thing that can notify upper management that we are understaffed, is the performance numbers. When Flt Ops get to report 100% completion at each management meeting, they get "great keep up the good work"
If they report, well we had 4 cancelations, but those were all Mx related. Everyone turns to the Mx Manager and asks what is the problem.
But if Flt Ops has to report cancelations due to lack of crew, someone is going to ask why do we have lack of crew? They can't hide it. Everyone pays attention to the completion number because it is a big deal to AA and DAL.
We all know the number of Cri Pay emails that have been coming out. The only reason they offer a CRI Pay trip is they don't have a reserve they can assign it to. So the only way we are getting 100% completion is because people are picking up all the CRI Pay trips.
If you want to send a message directly to upper management that we are understaffed and need to upgrade then STOP PICKING UP CRI PAY TRIPS.
