Anyone notice how we're planning 30 CUG's between August and September? Fairly large jump, seeing how we normally do no more than 10 a month...

And the only way the profits are going to be affected is by cancelling flights because there aren't enough pilots to fly them. We are NOT going to be released to strike, we can forget about that.
