Just like 50% of the stuff you post on here, this is total garbage! Nobody came to work at Delta hoping to do the flying of an Iran military bomber or fly like Lindburgh?! And it's not only green slips and QS that are "choosing" to fly these. I think you should just go back to a regional and soldier on for the rest of us through the 7 leg days and 14 hour duty days just so you can tell everyone what a big boy pilot your are! I'm sure it would fluff your ego so much more!
Trip lives in his own world. It's not rooted in reality. It's rooted in whatever Twitter post he read most recently that seemingly aligns with his current yet undereducated worldview.
Everyone has their opinion. Trip just doesn't know when to shut up and eat crow. I put more value on the output of Claude than Trip. But 0% of zero is still zero.

You're missing the point. Light work or not; That this rotation went out as a QS is immaterial. It could've been a reroute, a WS or reserve assignment. My point is, I hope this is not a new idea that sees expansion. If a 2-leg day has a 5 hour van ride between legs it could technically still be 117 legal. We already have long van rides to hotels at the beginning/end of some trips. Now having them mid day is a new low I'd not like to see continue. And yes I too flew 7-leg days. I'd rather not do it again.
Exactly this.
Exactly this.
Next...SQUIRREL!

We're no longer cancelling almost as many flights as Spirit did on the day the ceased operations, so I guess the trend is good. But Friday we were still #2 in the world of cancelled flights with 43 flights, while UAL cancelled 8 and AAL cancelled 3. Today, we're holding steady at #3 with 31 cancellations...on a Sunday...with almost no weather affecting the system yet.
It does seem they've gotten somewhat better at getting trips covered in my little corner, with lots of QS and GS. I saw a few posts last night about cancellations due to no FO's, which isn't all that shocking considering it's the end of the month and many aren't going for banked PB days. What's crazy is that this is due all due in large part by company's new stance on PB days, along with their decision to not hire last year.

Was walking through the terminal in DTW yesterday and saw the Paris flight canceled again. Are we that short on the 330? International flights are higher profile and travel disruptions there cause much more chaos. It's not a good look to keep canceling our more premium and lucrative flights.
