Hey,
Just do what CAL does every summer and send every single training Pilot to the Line, stop hiring, (more hiring would alleviate most of the problem), pay guys time and 1/2 who can't wait to help the company out instead of having a properly staffed airline and your set.
CAL's been doing this for over 20 years now and the Pilots who help-out are as much to blame as management.

I hear it's gonna be a goat fnck this summer around UAL. 777s are flying some of the 767 routes (even saw a Triple in Kona HI the other day!), domestic guys are being slammed, and cancellations due to crew shortages are rife. Yet they're properly staffed. Yeah, right.

Like 85%!!! An insane record.
