if we get in a shooting war with Russia, I’m not sure reserve coverage will be on anyone’s mind

Yes indeed...a neighbor recommended watching "The Book of Eli" for a glimpse of what would be an aftermath of a shooting war with Russia.

Here’s an historical occurrence and the legal results.

Right, we all know that an organized (or something that could be argued to be organized) effort by the pilot group to not pick up extra flying would be grounds for the company to sue the union. What’s being asked, is can the company’s escalation of available opentime and the enormous amount of additional green slips awarded be considered the same type of action but with the company (not management, we know none of them are accountable, just the faceless company) at fault?

Is status quo actually status quo or is status quo a one-sided affair favoring the company? You know, cuz no one in management changed anything over the last few years or made decisions that may or may not have resulted in a lack of staffing, reduced schedule quality, excessive training events, or any other such things that are negatively affecting pilot’s lives.

i prefer “the road,” since I don’t think the Bible has much value

The Russian invasion, duh. Everyone knows this is actually a Biden orchestrated mission so they can destroy the secret servers and Burrisma something or other. And yes, this is actually a theory I heard. Along side, they are only fighting Putin because they make sure much money in Ukraine. It's oddly schizophrenic

Interesting take.

Just playing devils advocate, the company is hiring 200 a month and trying to get the staffing level up as fast as they possibly can. Not sure what else they can do besides start cancelling flights due to staffing? If they cooled off on hiring and still ran at redline that would be a different story. Thoughts?

I apologize if I deleted a post that you deem unworthy of deletion. When threads go off the rails and we ask nicely to return to topic it has zero effect, thus the administrative housecleaning.

Any chance that training gets scaled back on the NB fleets this summer so they can return SLIs to the line?

Here's an interesting fact: Delta is now metering new hires from SKW, RAH and EDV to 5 off the street candidates per month due to staffing issues at those carriers.
