The only thing I heard is that RG believes the airline can run with 500-1000 less pilots. Which can be done if we min run the staffing levels.

Someone needs to clue in RG to the fact that this isn’t Endeavor.

We need to have much stronger reroute pay and protection if this is RG plan for the future. Make it so cost prohibitive to reroute us that our schedules are not built with 3 and 4 hour sits. Or as Tracking sees it, as Airport Ready Reserve.

I just hope we don't become like American. Almost every time I commute on them, the pilots are on some crazy reroute. Apparently they treat their lineholders like reserves constantly and there's no recourse.

The RR abuse is hopefully forcing this issue to be a front burner must fix for C19.

Pilot/airframe ratio is meaningless. Pilot/block hour ratio is what matters.

Just experienced all of the “joys” this thread is talking about. It’s a long story, but let’s just say me and another pilot will never extend our duty day ever again. This optimizing everyone’s schedule practice is going to bring our operation to a slow crawl if they continue this bs.
