Exactly. The storms in nearly every Delta hub daily are the biggest contributing factor for the operation struggling. You can't predict mother nature and its not fiscally responsibile to staff an airline for summer long IROPS and be massively overstaffed the rest of the year.

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.

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

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.

They flat out cancelled one of my legs after we diverted. Not delayed. Just red cancelled. I'm curious to see if 0% cancellations is still bragged on.
