You must be a treat to fly with. Wait, are you the moron I handed the plane off to the other day with no lanyard? You know, the one who's FO looked like he was miserable to be paired with. Yeah, I'm thinking so.

If each cancel costs an average of $50k and they average 10 a day for crew, that equals $182.5 million per year. Giving each pilot a $100,000/ year raise would cost the company $160 million.

I only see 12 for today, but maybe the site I am using is not as up to date. I am using FlightAware what site are you using?

Sorry, you are right. I was referring to yesterday's info I saw earlier. Yesterday's cancellations were actually 29!

Dude, come on. I know you've always been opinionated and that's ok, but how you cant see the pressure this will bring is bewildering. Think of it like lots of mini strikes!! I just cancelled a couple days ago for lack of front end crew. I honestly think that was a first. Believe me, its more than 10 guys! Will this MAKE them come to the table? Maybe ....maybe not. But it has to be putting a little pressure on them. You have to see that (unless you don't want to so you can justify making deals). I've given you a plane in the past when you were giddy to be on one. That was a while ago so hopefully that's changed within the current environment. I've always been a fan of a good JA (especially since they don't make it to me very often) yet not anymore. Just turned down a couple these last couple days. And I have a feeling more calls will be coming tomorrow. The only decision I'll have to make is whether to let it go to voicemail, or pick up to mess with them a bit! Again, your entitled to your opinions. I just hope you were truthful on a previous post when you said you weren't making deals.

Time to add scheduling to the block feature on my phone. It's gotten to a point of harassment.

How is it that a CA out of ORD with 1 day of RSV goes out on a 3 day trip? Thanks for helping the company out on your days off RM....Mr. Motivated taking other's future raises.

They're looking for DTW! They just called even though I'm out sick! Wonder how that would work??

So this is what I'm coming back to???

Anyone have the number of that truck driving school I saw on TV, Truckmaster I think it is? I might need that.

Well according to FlightAware's numbers here are the cancellation totals for the last three days.

Cancellations:

Monday=25
Tuesday=16
Today(so far)= 29

Total last 3 days= 70

Tomorrow is showing 8 cancellations already.

I assume it is a combo of weather, no crews, and mx. It's been nice enjoying my two weeks off with TX conflict!!
