Elohel.

Besides 9E, which DCI running flights for other airlines isn't asking for lower hours? If Delta wanted Compass all to themselves then they wouldn't have sold us off. Delta doesn't give a rats a**. It comes with the territory of no longer being a wholly owned. Your posts are so stupid.

Skywest canceled out of MSP last week, lack of crew.

I'm pretty sure that the reduction in hours is coming off of the AA operation.

None that i'm aware of, but we have canceled a lot for maintenance. We've done better in the last week with mx but we sure fly our spare a lot (every day).

What's the alternative to canceling flights? Nobody can staff more planes...

Bring this flying back in-house at the major level. Fly some of the routes on larger equipment. Delta is doing that already.

Eventually staffing issues will hit majors too, but not for a while. Additionally, there will likely be a loss of service to some communities and a loss of frequency on some routes.

The high quality majors aren't having a hard time filling seats in new-hire classes.
