Like I said before, if they offer 200% for all opentime pickups and voluntary extensions, all this whining and fatigue talk will go away quickly like it did last summer.
This is the level of efficiency that will necessitate 30% reserve coverage. Congrats Pappagiorgio.
I just did a DH to an outstation that was almost 3 hours late. When we got there, there was a crew waiting to take the plane we DH'd on to IAD.
There was ANOTHER plane sitting there for 3 hours. The waiting crew called dispatch to try and take the one sitting there and they refused. No reason......just refused.
Soooo they called 2 RESERVE CREWS (or rerouted lineholders) to cover the now very late trips back in ATL and IAD.
This is the level of efficiency that will necessitate 30% reserve coverage. Congrats Pappagiorgio.
It's true. The scheduling games we see, 4 day trips with a day of sitting somewhere and 20-30% reserve coverage is there for the simple reason that it gives scheduling the flexibility they need to cover crew planning's astounding ineptitude.
If it weren't for all of that, the incompetence of crew planning would be apparent to everyone in the GO.
I think we should make replacement of the crew planning management one of our top priorities in JCBA negotiations. Demand that they retire that guy and find someone half competent to replace him.
