I use mine to track upgrades, block hours, PBS bidding pilots and reserve percentage. That is why I am not nearly as optimistic about our pay package leading to more staffing. The company has proven over and over again that they are willing to sell our QOL down the river and my data doesn't show SGU doing anything different.
We were supposed to see an increase in staffing due to 117. Well if you look at our staffing vs block hours over the past couple years, we didn't add pilots for 117. Now here comes the company wanting to reflow the line holders with the EFB. Again, this will be to cover for decreased reserve staffing. All the reasons given for reflow should be covered with reserves.
All of our issues with trip efficiency will not get better by adding pilot input on pairing creation. It will only get better when AS and JO are shown the door and SGU decides they need to do something different because "the way we always have done it" isn't working anymore. The fact that SAPA was able to show increased efficiency with Virtual Domiciles and it was shot down, should be a good indicator of how much SGU wants to work with the pilots on solutions.

You'd think they'd be all over the virtual domiciles, or reopening some of the closed bases. Not just improved pairings(better quality of life for flight crews), but saving a bundle on hotels and per diem at the same time. The win win would seem to be a no brainer...

Dude, how are you hating on me brah? It worked out, I'm a Captain holding 17 days off on the 175. Chasing the upgrade doesn't always work but I'm the poster child for it working.
