Super Secret Sick-Out and Fatigue Festival

[sunlitpath]

Atlantic Southeast management is requesting and strongly encouraging that all pilots either call in sick or fatigued during the next 9 days before the current vacancy bid closes. Atlantic Southeast management wants to ensure that we upgrade the correct number of captains in the event of future pilot shortages or pilot overworking. Therfore, if you can spare an occurrence or a mild browbeating, please participate in the festivities.

Sincerely,
Atlantic Southeast Management

Let's do this right, put a sign-up sheet in the crew room and we can try to pick and choose the best days to miss. Simply sign your name and put your id number on there too. Let's get this organized!

No names. No ID numbers. It's all de-identified. We respect your privacy during this exercise in numerical austerity.

In all honesty, it's really surprising that this hasn't actually happened yet. Weak pilot group, I guess.

The Atlantic Southeast pilot group, overall, is a truly outstanding collection of aviation professionals. The Atlantic Southeast management group recognizes the ability of this pilot group to withstand continuous schedule changes and quality of life disruptions. Thank you for all that you do.

What's interesting is the amount of reserve sick calls.

 

[twott driver]

That's not interesting, it's a direct reflection on the way the reserves are being treated. It's a testament to the severe understaffing situation we are currently enduring.

Isn't flu season about to begin?

I could tell you, but you don't have the appropriate security clearance.

 

[the palm]

I could tell you, but you don't have the appropriate security clearance.

How did you find out my security clearance was revoked? I'll see you in court, sir. And those clearances will be reinstated as soon as I talk to Obama. Just haven't gotten to it yet because my crappy AT&T service keeps dropping my calls.

We are not understaffed per our business model. This is BH's standard staffing formula. Ask the SKW guys.

 

[79%N1]

Zero reserves Thursday through Sunday is a standard staffing formula??????? YGBSM! And the weather has been NICE!!! They still have NOBODY available!

 

[OCP]

They have been getting really luck with the weather in ATL. I hope they don't think it's this nice all the time.
