5 years ago I would never have guessed we would be so over staffed in almost every seat and almost every base.. I’ve never seen our staffing levels this high yet we continue to hire for airplanes we can’t even take delivery of. If I would have foreseen this I would have been filling out my DL app then. I chose to stay because of the slim staffing model we traditionally have had that created opportunities to make up the gap in compensation with DL and UAL with Premium time / VDA / RSA opportunities. O well I guess I sit around grow a beard and worry about landing currency next month.

It always an ebb and flow, it’ll probably look totally different a year from now. Also a lot of the VDA/premium opportunities I see especially lately is when the grid is green and we’re fat because they utilize reserves terribly.

I’m sure your beard is amazing😂. But $300,000 a year to be a professional beard grower isn’t bad.

No way! They should furlough or at least stop hiring so the VDAs and RSAs don’t slow down. Junior people and commuters have no idea how tough it can be when you get the rug yanked right out from under you like this! 😭🙄
