Scheduling will bankrupt the company.
When my crew is given a rotation to operate one leg, layover, then deadhead home ....
and another crew is given a green slip to deadhead one leg, layover, then operate home Burning thru cash / pilot payroll must not be that big of an issue.... I’m sure there are plenty of other examples out there. Post em up. |
Flying with 10% load factors for a month straight seems like a sure fire way to burn cash.

Same situation. (Deadhead to a LO and operate 1 leg back with the original crew on a DH back) Only both CA and FO were on Greenslips and only 3 pax aboard for a 1 hour flight.
Think about that... 5 working crew, 2 deadheaders ...and 3 pax. I figure about $10k pay for just the operating CA/FO plus we burned about 2,200 lbs of gas per pax. At some point wouldn't it be cheaper to just charter our customers a private jet? Didn't we just buy Wheels Up? |
I could be wrong, but I get the impression they are literally overwhelmed. To be fair, no airline is set up for this kind of world, and they are doing whatever they can just to keep the biggest of the 10 monster alligators from swamping the boat. They'll worry about the other 9 in 10 seconds if they don't get eaten. Maybe - maybe - once they get into a steady state the craziness will abate. If we ever get to a point where there is a steady state of some kind that is...

4 day trip. DH Atl-sav. DH sav-Atl. Work Atl-phl. DH phl-Atl. Not sure, might be some possible cost saving in there.... forget about reducing exposure risk.

I have way bigger fish to fry than how scheduling is handling their job.
