Again pilots are just another line item on a spreadsheet…….
if it will make indigo partners another $0.05 management will be INSTRUCTED to do so |

I’ve never worked at a large company able to react to events that quickly. The base closure had to have been worked on for months. This sounds like tinfoil hat wearing pilot versus management conspiracy theory. |

You don’t know this CEO. He always hated the “inefficient” ORD reserves, so while this may have been planned, I think it was accelerated and was a knee jerk reaction to sick calls and attrition.

I wish I were wrong, I really do. This story came around again through another source - a very senior guy who is plugged in to the goings on at this place. It happened like that. I'm not making it up or listening to crackpots. That's why junior captains like me are weighing their options and looking at possibly moving on. I used to think that in the interest of making money management wouldn't make stupid decisions, knowing what I know about this and other goings on it's clear I was wrong. This airline will figure things out one way or another and life will go on but the drama is so childish.

I just don’t think management is sticking it to a guy who lives in TPA or MCO. Anyways, I’m not sure your getting what I’m saying.

I'm sure the sick calls were all over the system, and I'm sure they were looking at the stack of rsv in ORD that they couldn't get into position to actually use and it ****ed them off.
