Probably burnt out like everyone else. Unable to drop a single day, move a trip, or even swap trips for the same footprint. Awesome scheduling section we have going for us!

And industry leading pairings...

It almost looks like they are trying to drop everything in order to pick up premium/VDA/RSA.

I think you're projecting your feelings of being burnt out onto them. They are not dropping cause they're tired. They're dropping because there's money to be made.

How are they dropping? I can’t even swap out of same day trips. This system is awful.

If you're Sr and lucky perhaps on the first window. And if you're very lucky on the trade board. But putting your whole schedule on the board to drop means absolutely nothing if nobody is biting which is most likely the case.

Not sure what they are so mad about. They paid for same-day service and JB upgraded them to next-day air, for FREE!

If you're a airline pilot and you're dealing with irate passengers, or any passenger, you're doing your job wrong.
