Pretty simple. If everyone just did this we'd have a contract by mid summer.
Exactly. This should be the attitude of all us right now.

Hey gravy chokers the company needs help. Pairing D4A08 out of Detroit is suppose to depart at 1140 and no crew. Its currently 1120. Easy first day one leg to MYR on NKS 851.

Don't fall the tricks of crew scheduling. Flica alerts filled with trips finishing up in a base then next day deadhead back to the base that has crews not picking up the trip. Don't fall for the easy three day which is actually two if you get released from the last day deadhead. All you are doing is saving the company a lot of phone calls and ultimately a cancelled flight out of a base that's holding the line and doing whatever it takes. Don't undermine the guys that are fighting for your next contract. Stay home and enjoy your family time. Your days off are your days off.

On point, but they will just make up stupid lame excuse to justify their plan.

This airline is falling apart more and more.

Makes me very happy

Looks like 9 cancellations so far today. Not sure if it's for no crews but it still looks bad regardless. Should be an interesting summer.
