Completely red RSV grid?
So this is the 1st month I remember seeing an entirely red reserve grid (JFK 320 FO). Is this typical and what we can expect until fall? Obviously, I'm a first year guy so I apologize for the newb question.

You have to sacrifice to work here.
We may run "hot" this summer... You above all. |

Not a newb thing..... staffing is always tough in the spring/ summer, but in my experience, hasn't been this bad. Anecdotally, it seems like attrition is picking up (I know 3 people leaving who haven't put in their notice yet). Likely, you will hear the "we are properly staffed" montra until we cancel flights. |

I was mentored that "if you can't FLICA, you sicka" lol.
I'm a 190 Captain in Boston and our grid for the most part except weekends is green. It sucks when everything is red, can't wait till we get better rules. You were mentored well. :) |

Taking a look at RSV CA 320 JFK, BOS, and FLL I would guess an average of credit of around 60 hours for this month. Disturbing. Whereas last year at this time I would guess around 30 hours. There better be a reason; pending merger, sale to private equity firm ( lean and profitable), etc, because it's been bad recently and doesn't appear to be getting any better ( future bids/ upgrades). It's been enjoyable when Wednesdays are the only green days on the RSV GRID:rolleyes:...talk about a boulevard of broken dreams |
