Over-reliance on unsustainable GS/GSWC/IA flying.
Acute and chronic fatigue, resulting in a less healthy and less resilient pilot cadre.
Dwindling and worn out LCAs/SLIs.
Folks, don’t kid yourselves that ARCOS batch size is anywhere close to a root cause of our flight cancellations. There are a dozen other fixes and improvements I support before opening my off time up to incessant nuisance green slip calls.

When lines are being awarded with 16 to 17 days of flying, all of which are 12+ hours of duty, airplane swaps at every avail and short overnights, even 200% isn't worth it. Most that I know are just burned out. Quite a few upgraded just so they wouldnt have to GS to keep up with inflation.

Some also just bid reserve because if you're going to fly that much, might as well do it for pay over guarantee and rack up those PB days in the bank. Not to mention that many of the broken up trips are much better than anything in the bid packet.
