Shouldn't such a big change be a status quo violation?

BTW do 190 transaction need to accomplish the 100hr too?

Isn't such change a violation of the status quo? What's happening?
How long are we going to be like that? Is this cyclical?

We staff the company for the average, and when we get to the peak seasons we get emails from mgmt about how we have to 'run hot', while in trough seasons we go months without flying on RSV!

In jfk the new guys absorb most of the open time to complete the 100hr, that is not the same for every base.
Anyway everything was fine until February, that's when the RSV grid changed color. And that influences line holders QOL too.
Two day trips in four weeks is the way reserve should be.
That's why is called reserve.
