ANG I think the lightbulb will illuminate for you and others that think the manning is a non issue, when you're unable to do anything with your sked but fly your awarded line, because everything will be locked up so tight.
I agree once it grinds the CA side of things to a halt it'll suddenly be an issue everyone cares about. Until then Flag Ties & Muffins for the win. |

This is a rather ignorant post. Re-read the post; as someone else posted “you’re really looking at things through a straw”

I know, I know, stop being so selfish and greedy. Let’s just continue to hire till we furlough like our competitors over the years.
Like I said I get both sides of the issue but before we say this is how it is going to be maybe just let it play out a bit more. I’ve only been here 10 years but the staffing in those 10 years has been all over the place. |
The only part of rapid expansion that cannot be hidden is pilot staffing and training capacity. I truly do not believe Southwest is changing their unrelying pilot staffing model but rather preparing for an expansion which cannot be announced until the staffing and staffing support is in place. It is FAR cheaper for them to pay premium time than to have additional pilots on property. The next couple years will tell the tale.

This! In the meantime, those that have been enjoying their large servings of cake will just have to make do with a little less. And even that isn't a certainty...summer is still young! |
Speaking of LAX... will that just be on the September bid? So it’ll come out sometime in July?

Already employed. Curious where I can find out what most junior FO is seniority wise currently in MDW. Heard it’s on SWAPA?
