Summer set up for staffing disaster?
Can't help but notice a common theme on most forums right now: Tight pilot staffing.
Endeavor, Envoy, Piedmont, Expressjet, TSA.. Quite a few regionals seem tight on staffing for the winter months. It looks like summer 2020 will be a mess for the record books.

Even the larger regionals are hurting right now. Republic is offering premium for overtime way more than they have been. Skywest is reflowing every crew they can. It’s crazy.

More than one way to skin that cat, reflow, etc. You'd need pretty airtight language to be safe from all "bonus" assignments. And under RLA you cannot refuse even if you're contractually protected... fly it and grieve it.

link / source? Generally curious about this statement as it’s about to affect me.

If my wife works the next day and we don’t have child care except for when I am there, the company and the rla can’t say anything about me refusing it.

Heck yes you can refuse it. You'll get a missed assignment, and then you "grieve" it.
