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.

According to some of the people “in the know” we were averaging 500 GS’s a month last year this time this year we’ve been averaging between 6k-8k a month during the summer so far since May...

It's a fine balance. Would it be better to carry a 10% pilot surplus 360 days a year, so that we can be staffed appropriately for the 5 days if IROP a year? Obviously Delta doesn't think so. Probably a wiser business decision to just eat the loss on the IROP days than to waste money overstaffing the airline, but we obviously can't see all the data.

I'll just put my GSWC in and hangout at home :D
