Simple. They hate employees and will screw them over every chance they get. Pure vindictiveness. Nothing more.

I agree. I believe the August vacation cancellation was just to **** us off. Let's be real; did they really need to cancel 140 pilots vacations? No way. How about cancel 25, that would have lightened up the open time. But 140!? It was a pure F U to us

That was more an aircraft shortage than a pilot shortage. They did that when planes were out of service or Airbus was behind on deliveries.

Haven’t more planes been out of service this summer than planned?

Not sure, but the company is cheap and not willing to give flying to another carrier unless it’s an absolute last resort. If they have aircraft and pilots to fly them, they will do everything within their legal power to complete flights in house before giving away revenue. Secondly, ALPA has defended these actions in the past stating the company was not in violation of our contract when exercising this option due to extenuating circumstances. Not that it would have stopped them but I don’t think the company would have received ALPA’s blessing this summer and I’m sure ALPA had a few legal avenues they could have pursued to make it less lucrative for the company if a contract violation did occur.
