the only problem with t/w/s is it’s gotta be profitable. Obviously. If Barry can’t make those days profitable, just by virtue of changing CEOs won’t. So again, you gotta find profitable routes on those days to support increased utilization.
as long as he doesnt close any bases, if he’s got a viable plan for this company, thats his job to run it profitably.

yeah napkin math aside, he must be looking at stats and spreadsheets from his department heads that leads him to this conclusion.

It's mind boggling when you think about the size of this airline - we have less than 2500 pilots and 175 airplanes. We are basically the size 2/3 the size of Skywest. We might be as large as DL's Atlanta operation. How freakin hard is it to realize which days of our few routes are the most profitable? It's 2026 - AI could probably tell us this in a couple of microseconds. We still haven't head sh!t from the new CEO or the Union MEC. I mean, WHO DOES THAT?
You get a new CEO and he sends out a letter thanking the previous and mentioning how happy he is to be the new man in charge and that's it?

Don't hold your breath for the "30 Day plan" from JD. As MM stated "We owe him [JD] 30 days..." What a disappointing and absolute blunder. Has informational picketing resumed? Or do we "owe" JD a delay in picketing as well?

was just going to say it’s def been more than 30 days, probably getting closer to 2 months.
and why add more fly on slow days if they aren’t filling the planes, that’s stupid. At least the slow days give them time to fix aircraft versus running them a quarter full of pax with 6 mels.

Honest question. At this point does anybody believe MM should be negotiating on behalf of the pilot group?
