Well 5 is their target. Doesn't mean they won't/can't add more. One of the things that needs to be fixed in our next contract IMO. How about a ratio of SC to LC? I wasn't originally assigned SC, but they just gave me a heads up 30 minutes ago for a conversion to SC. Guess it beats a call in the middle of the night.

Funny thing is she told me WX is headed in so they're adding SC's. I don't see any WX in the DTW forecast. Maybe she thought she was talking to a MSP guy.

Considering the DTW 320 does a lot of NYC flying you might want to see how the weather is going to be that way over the next 30 hrs or so!

This is why I will do a word search of our next contract and if I find the words "company/may/might/should/try/
waive/waiver/attempt/best effort/
it is a no from me. I like black and white.
