So many numbers that would be great to see as compared to when we ran an on time airline. How about the % of trips that were flown as published in the bid packet. Their acceptance rate number is sensational, but how much have the slips have been sent out, even before M7 took off, as compared to before? What's more expensive, what's we're doing now, or running a decently staffed airline?
Lol, I think even he knows that save a few odd fanboys, no one really cares about the plane.

That I don't discount, but if you don't have to run coverage for trips that aren't in open time... We have been able to run this airline without massive amounts of premium time, it can be done. In my short career, there was a time where one or two GS a YEAR was a "good" year. In some categories, GS#2 was almost unheard of.

Which is still far less than the decline in the company’s acceptance rate of payback day requests.

It’s always gone in cycles. A key factor in the amount of overtime is however reserve utilization. When the reserve system was your on call 19 days a month in a 30 day month and 20 days a month in a 31 day month and it was a 24 hour on call with 2 hours to report greenslips were very rare. When the windows system hit we thought it was the greatest thing ever. You were only on short call 6 hours every day. The number the negotiations team needs and I am sure they have it is how are reserve utilization compares to the other major airlines. I have no idea what that number is however if it’s significantly less the company has a point. If it’s about the same they need to hire more.
