Email from JG yesterday saying essentially thanks for bailing us out this summer and it won’t happen again was at least a somewhat classy move.

Hopefully they actually did learn their lessons this summer and make the necessary adjustments going forward to 2020 and beyond.

So you want that craziness back? What's you're strategy?

Like to drop the garbage and pick up shorter/better broken trips. Normally have no issue doing it. Don’t need the craziness but like Goldilocks I’m looking for just right.

Yup. We were clearly missing enough diversity. That would have made everything better.

That's what I figured...I mostly use the same strategy. It still worked this month, but usually falls off in October as our international flying declines. I noticed a sharp drop in GS/W in other categories, but I'd think that's a welcome change for most.

Yeah it's nice to be able to take a breather.

ATL 320 A still is so short you can’t drop or move days off...

And the brilliant minds that be in OCT have the ALV still at 81 with 67% of trips as 4 or 5 days with 78% of the hours contained in those.

Looking forward to watching PBS gag on that again...

Actually the Oct ALV is 82:30! 51% of the trips are 4 or 5 day. The real problem other than the high ALV is that 26% of the trips are 5 day trips. Ridiculous.

For those that wish to see a detailed breakdown of trips by length and percentage of total trips , check out the tables in the bid packages that start around page 23.

Id like to know the sick call breakdown based on trip length. Id bet 5 days are the highest sick out rate.
