Did you miss the memo? We are properly staffed. Thanks for all you do.
At least on the 700 FO side we are properly staffed. Zero open time. When double time shows up then I'll start believing we're short staffed

We may not have a whole lot of trips in the open time, but we also have TLV north of 90 hours in May.

More reserves means more people to cover the ineptitude of scheduling.

Yeah I just noticed that too. I knew that I shouldn't have gotten used to finally holding a good schedule. Guess April was a fluke. Number one thing that should be taught in flight school - get used to being disappointed. ALWAYS!

Isn't it supposed to be max of 18% extended by the union from 15%?? I saw that yesterday, but I couldn't find the source in the contract. If someone finds it, post page number/paragraph please.

They initially were but there was mistake made in the construction. New software. Had to use the company stuff that was not as good or as productive. Check the latest memo.

I hear they are testing chemical weapons below that lake just down the road. Something to do with SmartPref to make you susceptible to getting hosed by SmartPref.
