When I asked why they are putting people on SQ that are qualified to fly a trip, both times they didn’t have an answer.

it’s possible all 2-3 people getting SC could be NQ...scheduling “thinks” they have people at the ready when they really don’t, and they don’t figure it out until they run the TC for the short notice trip and none of the SC pilots names show up....NOOPS will follow...I saw two domestic NOOPs out of NYC just the other day as I was getting tagged with a 5 day RES trip.

Delta IT is a sh!t show that hampers scheduling ability to correctly do its job....I expect more form a fortune 100 company.

yes I’m chatted with the CPO both times to hightlight scheduling ineptitude.
