You could always retire early and help mother D’s bottom line! TIC

I don’t think anyone thinks we should hire until every day or reserve coverage is blue and +20 but my category next month is short every day except for like 4. And that’s before the month starts... just an example of why some people think we’re understaffed in general rather than just for major storms in every major US city and or hub.

60 last I heard? Not sure what the count was. What’d you hear?

Edit: don’t know that’s the aircrew cancel number. If you know please share.

If your point is we do a gazillion flights and only cancelled a small number, I think deltas ingenious delay/cancel policy might skew that metric a smidge.

It was posted on SkyHub Friday that the expected crew cancellations were 10-20 for that day. Saturday seemed worse from a pilot availability perspective but I haven’t seen any cancel stats posted. So...something close to 60 isn’t outside the realm of possibility.

House of cards. Always has been always will be. Love those 12 hour delays so they can brag 0% cancelations in summer IROP. Have some more of that purple kool aid boys. It will hold you over til profit sharing day again.

If they get periodically reminded how important staffing and crews really are, I'm okay with that.
