Hi,
I'm a fractional pilot with a question.
I was scheduled to leave on an AirTran flight from PHL on Sunday 9/09. 10 minutes before the plane was supposed to leave the gate informed us a pilot wrote up a tire and that a new tire will need to be flown in from ATL and that it would take several hours.
I'm not sure if the flight CXLD or not, I ended up on a SWA flight and got home at a reasonable hour.
The timing of the "tire write up" seemed a bit odd. I was wondering, are some AirTran pilots purposely causing delays because of their contract issues (unofficially of course)?
Just curious. I'm not criticizing if they are, this is the way things work. I hope you guys get a decent contract soon.
