The rumor I'm hearing is that our summer block hour schedule for 2013 will be one of our busiest on record. Between this, and the attrition that is picking up, this company will be in for a rough ride. I got absolutely HAMMERED in 2011, and I won't do that again- one way or another. This company lives month to month, with absolutely NO down the road planning, what so ever.
There was also an internal memo which was sent out to the Chief Pilots Office, about February. Apparenty, they don't want any unecessary leaves granted because we are "critically understaffed" for this month. They didn't take into account the number of folks that are still in training. Good grief- understaffed already, and they don't think there will be problems this summer????
They always plan to run fat in the off season, and lean in the summer. However, I think this year, this idea is flawed because of hiring at the majors, and they have no true clue just how bad it really will be.

This summer is going to be an absolute joke. The funny thing is, they know the new FT/DT regs are going into effect in '14. Summer schedule + increased attrition + increased fatigue calls + new FT/DT regs = one hell of a sh*tshow. You would think they'd at least be proactive about getting some more pilots on property due to the new rest rules, but I guess not.

But do they have discounted disney tickets and acey days at republic? How could an operation survive without the bare essentials?

I'm giving myself til the end of this year before I jump ship. If RAH, GoJet, or any other place shows additional growth trends or a relatively quick upgrade while XJT wastes time with the merger planning the next Aceypalooza, I'm outta here like a fat chick in a bikini contest. I don't give a sh*t.
