Happens all the time. I've had a 4 day block going into golden days where they pre post rest beginning at 6am on my last LC day, and a 3 day that I would be perfectly legal for if it weren't for the rest comes into open time but they send it to GS instead because they are too swamped to realize they could just manually remove my rest. It's hard to really feel sorry for them when they constantly do things like that.

Thers 2 cost, fixed cost (pilots in the company), variable cost (like 23M7, GS, PB days, etc). They chose the later, for the past 5 years. People are getting smarter every day and costing more and more.
The 8.9 isn’t because people didn’t had all hands on deck. It’s because there’s not enough hands to keep the deck.
They just have to hire enough to keep reserve staffed and use them as intended.

Might be wrong though. Not going to die on this hill.
It would be like refusing an Uber because the car wasn't built in Country X.

I don't personally believe any Delta pilot who, after considering schedules, lifestyle, salary, commuting, or destinations would give a flying fig about who built the airplane.

Type of flying aside, I dont really care about the builder, I just want a plane with a comfortable cockpit. Airbus has that won by a long shot.
