In the past week, 2 classmates of mine accepted CJOs at OALs. 1 United and 1 Delta. Brings the confirmed total that I can personally count of Year 3’ish FOs leaving in the past 6 months to 13. I obviously don’t have eyes on 95% of the FO pilot group. I feel like the number of FOs deciding to leave is picking up steam and I imagine will increase the next few months.
Crew Planning has no idea what the true cost of these displacements are.

Swapa said planning has no idea, and doesn't even care....not their problem. It's a different silo, so someone else's problem to deal with. One dept doesn't talk to the other and nobody in DAL cares what's going on until it affect them (prob why Elliott stepped in)....by the time the costing gets to the bean counter's desk it's too late....so they tell the CP's to deny hotel rooms instead....like that'll save any $. Deny my contractual hotels and I'll sick click the trip, costing you premium (because I'm gonna elitt the trip for one that's PBR out of spite). This place loves tripping over dollars to pinch pennies...

If you're gonna leave, might as well do it on the front end of them hiring 2k+ this year.

Edit- I think I get it now. I believe he means intentionally ELITTing into a trip with showtime within 2 hours of RAP and then calling out sick so the company is forced to pay premium to the next guy.

This....if you know you might need/want to call off....help someone out while you do it. Now that the elitt window is only 2 days out....if something pops up and home I need to stay home for and there's something that's pays more in elitt that just so happens to have a report within 2 hrs of RAP start...I'll trade into that all day long.
