The company staffing is worse for CAs than FOs, and mostly worse for CRJ than ERJ. There are tons of pilots, even senior CAs who up until recently were not able to bid for time off or vacations with any certainty. Look outside of your own situational bubble.

It looks like you're on the 175 and you never got to experience the CRJ pairings in places like DTW. 13 hour 3 days and 17 hour 4 days with a minimum of 89-90 hours a month leaves you with minimum days off month after month. Throw in commuting on top of it had a lot of pilots getting tired of it. Even for myself in SLC it was getting hard to average more than 5 hours of credit a day - at 20+ years seniority. Of course none of us have to worry about that anymore.

Anyone know what to make of the RTS dates on the flow board for the parked up airplanes? looks like there are some airplanes clearly not due to fly this year with RTS of December but there area a bunch with much sooner RTS dates ranging from late this month onwards. I get that it is probably a guess for a lot of the fleet but the dates seem awfully specific and have also changed a lot since I last checked 10 days ago.
Just wondering if anyone has any insight.
