Happy Easter.

Makes no sense to me either.

Happy Easter.
Especially since the brunt is bore(?) by people with no say in the matter of what "liberal propaganda" Ed says, non-management peeps at the OCC, gates, reservations, etc.

Once again, the pilots are the cause of the cancellations by calling in sick. Give me a break!

18 GSs in NYC 320B with 12 trips in open time tomorrow. Clearly we are the problem.

The number of GS/IA calls I have received today have been astronomical. Sadly the trips are terrible so I'll enjoy my time off at home.
They should probably rethink their staffing numbers they have been using the last few years. Seems like every Holiday/ leap year / unforecasted summer thunderstorms/ ect and the operation goes into a meltdown. Ungumming the system would be my first priority in the quest to return us to a reliable air line

From the last holiday meltdown, I noticed the flight aware cancellations don’t show up until mid day of the actual day. So it shows D at 75 QX today; tomorrow’s numbers won’t show until noon at least.

Also no idea how accurate those numbers are. It’s a 3rd party site, after all.

Illegal reroutes are back in full force. I guess the new ALPA reps helping scheduling out are saying just cover trips anyway you can.

Yep, I got called for lots of GS grips...but they are such crap trips these days that in the end just couldn’t pull the trigger!

ALPA offered to put Reps in scheduling to assist...Crew Scheds told ALPA to pound sand.
