It's good I guess to be understaffed, but sooner or later everyone burns out. We haven't even started summer schedules yet either.

The best under staffing ever was the 350A side when we were first getting the planes delivered. Wholly cow, that was crazy $$$ going on there.

I had a sliver of hope that their "quick" strategy might succeed, but then again this is a hateful management group. Not surprised. Prepare for the crazy times ahead. Same as it ever was I guess.

Did I miss something? Is the quick strategy no longer being considered by the NC?

I was told they have had meetings 3 out of the 6 days since the openers. If no deal by June/July pivot to the long haul.

Management has a sliver of hope for an efficient trip coverage process at minimal cost.

frankly, i believe now more than ever, folks are focused on their long term physical and mental health and as such, are no longer interested in being abused, taken advantage of, and exploited, especially with execs making tens of millions off that work. the paradigm has changed and the mckinsey consulting groups/private equity/hedge funds will adjust or they won’t.

Talked to a rep in the lounge after last Tuesday and my inference from their comments was there is discussion.
