What load factor are we running? Flights I've been on had plenty of seats below the 66%.

Maybe, the business decision is lose a little revenue over 5 days at Thanksgiving instead of paying wages for 1000 pilots to come back when not really needed for the intermediate future.?

seems like I heard xovid is spiking again. Cash preservation may trump picking up pennies with ticket prices being what they are

Company business, LOA 2004 thank you, after a 3 day out of base green slip. I should have stayed in base and just grabbed a GSWC but I didn’t think it would get THAT bad. Logged into the delta WiFi and this popped up.

It’s embarrassing how poorly managed our staffing is.

What a terrible article. Starts off blaming the employees for purposefully ruining travelers holidays before even getting past the headline.

Interesting article about a terminated flight attendant.

(Yeah, it's Buzzfeed, but interesting nonetheless.)

Short version: Violating social media policies can get you fired quicker than just about anything. Even if your politics are very progressive.

I don’t think so. They put too many on UNA (unassigned) status.

More like insufficient staffing that has been predicted for months.

Oh yeah the article is an absolute bunch of horse sh$! It was hilarious that it opted in a delta generated google feed. Only thing right about it was how bad our cancellations are.
