They have plenty of coverage come Monday. They just dont staff weekends to have coverage. Its great for WSs and GSs but not so great for the reserve pilots flying weekends hence the disparity between weekend crowds and weekend off crowds. It is what it is.

Just when I thought we were out of aircraft rumors you pull me back in again.

There was one out of CVG, a LCA, on a lot of no fly lists. I'm sure that list helps them know who is special. I was listening to two Captains talk about him and that he had left for MSP or a NWA base.

There's only so far the company can go with the TLV. Maybe people shouldn't pick up trips from open time then sick out for them 48 hours later. That's happened to me twice in the last 6 weeks.

Why on gods earth do they allow weekend coverage to go so low? They have 50+ sittin reserve M-Th and come F-Su they have 9. The money that the company pi$$es away on GS. If anything they should have more coverage on weekends as that is when people tend to call in sick more often. I can hold weekends off on reserve so I shouldn't complain but I like weekdays off too now and then and would love to see more balanced staffing. WT-Eff?? Over

Not our problem to solve. GS awards going out is good. That's nothing to complain about.

Why do people get excited about possible new "replacement" aircraft?
