Those guys need to step back and stop being so enamored with the companies margins and take a look at the everyday operations. These guys try to save pennies on the dollar when it ends up costing millions in service failures. Soon that trickle down effect of not caring is going to cost them their industry leading margins and they will be looking to take it out of our pockets.

I bet Bendo is plotting right now how he is going to manipulate the pilot union. This guy is not very impressive. Just wait and see what these guys pull.

Watching very closely to see who our section 6 chief pilot will be

I was thinking that there is more of a fundamental problem with the way they operate causing chronic operational meltdowns. I'm guessing that comes down from the top.

They should have! Apparently they (new hires)are filling out apps after the type ride because they aren't in cass yet and can't go home with 7 days off, honestly the only way things will change is if people start leaving.

How about management gives us the tools to operate on time and efficiently. Not "hey there, you are the 30th caller."
The place operates like the drive-thru at McDonalds with a bunch of incompetent GED earning, dropouts working.

Any other LAS FO's notice that almost the entire month of June is now red and the open time pot seemingly doubled in the last couple of days? It appears as though they withheld a ton of open time until June 1st in order to comply with red/green requirements and then dumped it once the June bidding cycle was complete.
