Which could mean others are not getting called.
Which means the operation could still be in tatters.
So yes context does matter.

So when we hear about summer construction (ATC delays) we all assume the worst. Can you blame us?

The cash is great but my life is better. Playing a championship golf course and hitting up swim team practice is better than a midnight SYR run. Or a ferry to CHS. But if the worlds align take it.
I agree things have been more fluid lately. But the pairings are still jacked. 3 hour sits just weren’t there pre-cba. I heard a Chief in MCO say “there’s no Captain staffing problem.” So that’s where we’re at. Let’s see what the June bid brings.

You can't have it both ways. Either the schedule is tight and fragile or loose and durable.

Correct. The way I recall, the pairings didn’t break all the time before the post cba reconstructions. However, now you’ll see the first day with a light credit then last day massive credit and max 117 duty day. Put some sits in and it breaks.

3 hour sits were a product of PVC scheduling surveys. The narrative from the 160 hours of monthly credit project pilot wonder boys was would the pilot group be willing to hang around longer for higher Block/credit hours.
The “alternative” was told to us as less credit per day.
We said: “thank you”.
Then our former NC “codified” the DR work rule into our CBpeA.
