I think we should open the standing bid and let everyone go to the base they want. Scheduling can then build lines off that. It may reduce efficiency and create more deadheads but in the end it will help bring people in the door! Republic was doing this a few months ago so it is a possibility.

Buddy of mine said all the tulip planes are parked and covered up. Plus a few more planes just sitting there, so he thinks maybe 12 airplanes just sitting on the ramp. New hire has 3 in it while 3 are on leave to get more hours. The FA has only one in class.
