Is that something that happened once or has happened multiple times? Even once is terrible but much better than it happening over and over.

It will be telling to see who they replace LS with. If the company wants this place to be around for the long run, they will try to find someone more like KS. If they promote one of the old guard into position, they might as well be throwing gas on this dumpster fire.

Hopefully that is not true. But it wouldn't surprise me given our staffing on the FO side....

Multiple times. If you want to work your arse off and make some $$$. TSA is the place. If you have a wife, kids, and a life not so much...

Jeez. Not good. I have a wife and kids, but I’d need the $$$ too because of them. What kind of block time and actual flying time are guys getting these days?

It's a situation the company definitely needs to not mismanage and screw up.

It would be smarter to up F9 flow to 3-4 per month and running an upgrade class of 8-10 every two months to keep the music from stopping. However, That requires thinking into the future...

Its all about credit, not block. I had 155 hours of credit last month.

Do you mind explaining how you accumulate credit? I thought it was off of block time? 155 hours is a definite money maker.

Credit is what you are paid. Block is what you fly. Ways you get credit without counting towards block are minimum days, deadheads, cancellation pay, extra pay for pickups and junior mans for example.
