They build them like this bc they're trying to get max productivity out of us to make up for the lack of rsv pilots. Started losing days off and increased credit in 2008/09 when we furloughed and have been poorly manned ever since. Glad we're getting 15-20 per class again though. Not like it'll change anything!

We may be paying more for our insurance, but the company's share is still significant.
