Massive prevalence of early report/late release, high legs per day with mandatory plane changes at every hub (and some "outstations") with both mad dash panic 5 concourses away scrambles or 3-4 hour sits, relatively short rests with circadian cycle shifts, etc.
Its no one thing, or even just several things, but the relentless application of all those things. Its so bad in some BES's that even living in base is barely a mitigating factor for just the report/release part of it and nothing else.
The only way it gets fixed at this point is if we pry it out of their cold, unplugged optimizer at contract time. Better work rules including RCC leverage with teeth. Lip service mea culpas about "running it a little hot" won't fix it.

So what happens if all the unused AE spots for new hires is exhausted before the closing of the next AE? I can't remember how many unfilled spots there were but if they have another 3 months of running 200/mo classes won't they use up all the spots?

They are running an AE in February. I'm sure they are keeping track of that information. BS isn't a dumb person.

I know... I'm a cynical pessimist. But I wasn't born that way it's 24 years and several contracts in the airline industry that gives me that perspective.

By my math from the numbers I saw after the bid release, there were almost 1500 unbid positions. I say they still have time.
