It’s seemed to have worked. All the opentime has vanished. And paying a FA double is what $75/hr . Paying a captain $500/hr is a bigger hit financially. But the amount of 200% trips going out has been almost unprecedented anayway.. just carpet bomb all work groups with extra pay.. and survive the week the best they can. January and February are notoriously slower month so I don’t see this as being systemic .
more of a Covid/holiday crush. Things will return to normal in January.. but this upcoming summer .. it’s Gonna very interesting.

like someone who knows it’s been said both ways?

If you think about it it actually makes more sense to say you could care less meaning you have less of a desire to care about the subject in question.

if you couldn’t care less then that means you do have some care about the subject in question because you are indicating you’re willing to care more about it.

Couldn’t care less=so you need to care more.


seems like you don’t know better....

Back to the subject we do care about, SWA did something similar starting a week ago. Their premium is 150%, JA 200%, for the holidays it’s 150% for all regular flying, and 200% for premium, but 100% if you call out…. Sofar it worked there.

I’m am shocked that there are still trips available in open time!

I can hear a bunch of old geezers saying “Man I don’t check my company email, screw that crap!”

they probably have no idea what’s going on.
