While running a NH class for 2 seems odd the same packet shows 16 NH's just in the first half of January. I love the short sightedness in a 30+ year career. This isn't day trading bro.

Preach.

The sky is falling routine when we’re clearly already fat on pilots, have a new, less staffing intensive scheduling system being installed and are awaiting what is likely an imminent order is hilarious.

They don’t hide the big picture in a hangar in Tulsa. There’s just not an abundance of folks who can see it.

Not surprising we have not hired a lot or upgraded many since the contract passed and we are getting pbs, and I don’t see it picking up any time soon.

I guess a lot of guys forget what we were told PBS implementation would do in the short term. This was all covered in union conference calls regarding a halt on upgrades for some months because of PBS

The change to the grid came in 2014 after we won the grievance for them changing the buffer after IOT making every day red. Been in LAS, ORD, and DTW as a CA after that win, and the grid is largely green except weekends and holidays. DTW is mostly green all the time across the board. No significant change noted post-contract.

I didn’t have any trouble dropping nearly anything that wasn’t a big holiday etc. picking things up for the last two months, on the other hand, has been difficult.

When did you start? Were you here through 2017.
