Lots of “FO” open time next month. It’s crazy how we flip flopped in less than a year. This summer is gonna get real interesting. Probably going to see a ton of delays and cancellations.

Even if they stepped in now to throw money at the problems facing their WOs it likely is already too late to truly have a big effect on the summer flying. These things take months to shake out...

So here's an update for everyone regarding the cancelled upgrade classes. I just flew with a pretty senior FO who was in the two cancelled classes.
He got a call from BF (not the company, but union BF) yeyesterday telling him they struck a deal. The company will send 5 upgrades to the April 8 class, but they have to waive their four (or is it five?) home study days. Instead, the FOs will fly the line right up until they go to class.
The FO I was flying with told BF no, that's not right, and I don't wanna do that. BF told the FO that if he says that, it will be considered a refusal and count as a training failure on his record. So the 5 FOs who are going are being FORCED to waive their contractually guaranteed home study days, under the threat of getting a black mark on their record. And BF was 100% backing the company up on this, at least from what my FO told me. How can they get away with that and how does BF even still hold a position in our union?

I misspoke somewhat, apparently the term out of BF's mouth was "training withdrawal", not "training failure." Still, a training withdrawal on your record for not waiving your contractual rights is shameful.
