As said earlier we have like 3000 more pilots than we had 10 years ago. Big issue is the crappy optimized trips that cause sick and fatigue calls and don't allow any time in them in case there's weather or mtc issues and what not.

Fly a schedule that the number of pilots you have can support without breaking the contract?? You know Rules of the Road and all that.
Valid for validity. |

I most certainly can. It’s called the status quo and current batch size limitations prevent frivolous phone calls. No change in batch sizes without a very large quid from the company.

Maybe not for the last few years, but prior to that I remember seeing very impressive operational reliability. I know some of that was 'manufactured' i.e. delay a flight 12 or more hours instead of canceling it so it didn't hurt the numbers, but overall things were much better.

Help me understand the difference in category size as it affects batch size preferences. If I’m in a category with 400 pilots and there are 3 trips to cover, a batch size of 15 means I have a one in 5 chance of being the selected pilot for a green slip. If I’m in a category of 100 pilots there and there are 3 trips to cover, a batch size of 15 means I have a one in 5 chance of being the selected pilot for a green slip. Am I to understand that larger category pilots want more headfakes with the tradeoff that they get through the coverage process faster? Why isn’t anyone discouraged by the total response window going to 25 minutes from the historic 10? I’d rather shorten that myself than open myself to more headfakes. |
