So, they should go away because YOU don’t like them? Very few people get “stuck” with 5-days. Some commuters like them because they can do three commutable 5-days and be done for the month. The better option is to try and tailor the amount of commutable trips and day trips to the desires of the pilot group.

I would have killed for 5 day trips when I had to sit in fkn Kew Gardens 12 years ago doing nothing for 5 days.

They decreased headcount in NYC / BOS last year. This year - we need to refocus on NYC / BOS, and we are going to fly shorter trips to help with reliability, with our reduced headcount in those bases we are refocusing on. Around and round the merry go round we go.

I’m not sure I follow your logic completely. Being junior sucks and sometimes you get “stuck” with something. Maybe it’s short call reserve, short call conversion, redeyes, non-commutable trips, SDQ/STI trips, etc. I’d rather focus on the final 20 years at a place as opposed to the first 3 years. BTW, stacking a 2 and a 3 day together doesn’t make a commutable 5-day and requires a hotel/crashpad.

Company: Pilots don’t want in base layovers.
Company Planners: No problem, shorter trips and not paying for hotels as well? Reliability goes up. Genius. Why didn’t we think of that a couple years ago?
Pilots: Dammit more nights in a Crashpad? This is B.S.
