I hate doing this but...
Without going back and reading hundreds of comments, what's the deal with all the cancellations? Today over 50% of all flights cancelled.
Is it a manpower issue? Not enough crews? Ground staff? Management having their head in the sand?

I’m not going to air out any dirty laundry as the union said not to but it isn’t a staffing issue on the flight crew side.

well apparently Benito is going to email our CEO and going to get an answer from him as well as a game plan on how to resolve this issue. I’m just standing by for that answer.

Miramar, FL (Associated Press) Today hundreds of unionized pilots from Spirit Airlines walked off the job today all over the greater South Florida area demanding that new hires consider them over their arch rival—United Airlines. Our reporter went out in the field today to get an interview from one of the pilots on his solution to the problem. For security reasons he did not want to give his real name, instead he told us to call him Benito....
...okay obviously this isn’t real.

I don’t think it’s the seasonal collapse that’s the issue, like you said, it’s going to happen.
It’s the loss of operational control every time it happens. You can’t lose control of the operation. You can’t have crews stuck for days and no way to get ahold of anyone. How many crews are canceled and won’t receive a call to inform them they are canceled, etc? How many crews are having to secure their own hotels because nobody on the company side will do it? That’s kind of the larger issue, losing operational control to the point where your crews are stranded out throughout the system and realizing it will likely be days until scheduling even gets to them, so it’s every crew to fend for themselves. That’s the larger issue
Reminds me of 2015 where we lost operational control and guys were saying screw it and flying home. Scheduling would call them a few days later and ask where they were, “I went home.”
I’m canceled for today, no call of course. No scheduling modification. So I won’t go to the airport even though we haven’t been modified off the pairing. Hotel? They aren’t reachable to secure us a room so looks like I’ll have to ask the hotel to extend or use the credit card for reimbursement. Point is, the operation shouldn’t collapse annually like it does and lose operational control.
