Granted, all the lines are flying 80hr/mo, so they are getting their productivity out of us and after that, they care not.
If anybody could stop rowing long enough to steer, they would realize that QOL can drive recruiting like a bonus. What if we were all on here talking about 14 days off down to 50%? That would get some interest.
Of course, that's all uneducated conjecture. I've never worked in TSA skeds. I just see inequalities and wonder why. And when mngmnt says, "It's not our fault, the pair-otimizer-gonkolator did it," it makes me suspicious.

Do you really think the company is not letting the flying be as efficient as possible when there are airplanes parked behind the hanger because they can't staff them?
And the company literally couldn't care less about having a STL base. The only reason why there is one is because 95% of the maintenance on all our airplanes happens there. If it was more efficient to staff this airline all out of Anchorage, they'd do it.
