With June and July record months for green slips I would venture to say that someone’s got to xsplainnn to do.

Since we aren’t putting any new hires into the 320, are there any people right now moving lateral into the fleet? I feel like staffing is only going to get thinner because they are still delivering 2-3 per month, right? I assume the planes aren’t just sitting around waiting for the next AE.

Obviously they get covered by someone but I’m done. Wouldn’t do it for quadruple pay.

I’m perfectly fine living on the $160,000 I make a year just flying my bid award. Not a huge fan of 80+ hour ALV’s either.
My reroutes have mostly benefited me this summer. The delays caused waiting for a captain to show up for a greenslip on a split rotation have cost me some commutes home.
In my previous life this is how the operation went on, and then sick and fatigue calls start rolling into an already under staffed operation. Short staffing an airline costs a lot to pilots in terms of QOL, upgrades, etc.
