Is Ted to blame or just normal summertime
 
What do you guys think. Feel like the operation was running pretty good for quite a while and now last couple of months seeing changes. And not good ones. Seems every week talking to guys that have had horror story trips recently. And obviously with that goes a lot of ****ed off passengers. In a plane yesterday with a ND deferred going on 9 days. Have to imagine that’s just a simple R&R. Teddy is making me nervous.

I thought we blamed “Bendo” for everything?

7 summers here, 3 CEOs, the operation always collapses in summer. It’s the “summer stress test,” as they call it, and they always fail

I’d say summer time thunderstorms are more to blame then anything. That combined with maxed out schedules and it spells many melt downs. Heck right now the entire state of Florida is ground stopped.

Who is this Ted person you speak of?

At least we're not getting sued this time. I feel like we had about as much control over their May disaster where they scapegoated the pilot group during negotiations. Bad weather, full schedule, higher utilization = low tier operation.

Doesn't seem to have much effect though. Even with all that bad weather today MCO has yet to burn any R19s for tonight on the FO side. I'm on the X/Y list and haven't heard a peep this month. Everything seems to be moving along just fine here.
