Fatigue calls are increasing. The schedule is very difficult when guys are taken off their line and randomly reassigned. Very weak work rules. Consistent abuse of reserve assignments. Scheduling doesn’t seem to mind, they have a job to do and are concerned with the present, not two days from now. Crews are pushing back. Could lead to some cancellations, especially since there’s no reserve lines.

Lets not start this crap...if you're sick, you're sick, call out. If you're fatigued, you're fatigued, call out.
The union and scheduling are trying to work together to solve 76 scheduling problems and being a dick to the scheduler, or calling in sick like a child because you didn't get your way, is only going to make that more difficult for us to do.

This a DHL decision and operational decision. This does not represent air cargo as a whole. There’s nothing that will haul what a whale can as far as weight vs economics and range. Boxes are important, not all operations are boxes. There’s actual freight that only aircraft like a 74 or something built by the USSR can haul. .85 and still not at Vmo.
