Good thing we’re turning a large population of our pilots into Florida commuters. That will fix it! We’re more resilient than ever!

On the one hand, it bolsters their decision to base more pilots from ATL down through Florida.

Problem is it doesn’t matter how many pieces you have on the chessboard if you are playing while blind and deaf.

Yes it affects pilots commuting to a trip, but it should also mean having more reserves in base. Yes people commute to reserve, but by the time they need you, you should already be in base.

Sure, but crew timing out is probably a small part of the problem. The main issue is a plane and crew being stuck in CMH or some random place trying to get to Florida.

Exactly, it is not the lack of pilots in Florida causing this IROP right now.

The point of it all is that Pilots are being used as scapegoats for past IROPs and this displacement is not going to solve a thing. We get it FahQ2, you've made your position clear in the past. You live in Florida and for selfish reasons this displacement is good for you. But stop being a company cheerleader when you know it won't work.

This was a hard lesson learned at my last employer with 6 bases and Dallas being the most attractive and popular. Ice storms would blow up the operation for days, and they would beg for people to try to drive in to make trips happen.

Anyway, the epiphany finally happened and they diversified. Not as simple in the 121 world, but all our eggs are justifiably in one basket. I think the IROPs will be more numerous if possibly shorter lived with the new scheduling rules.

There will be gravy galore available in FLL and MCO if you want to move down there and have the seniority to get off reserve.

I would love to know their plan going forward for hotels being full and crews running into IROP. I kept hearing stories the last few days of crews unable to find hotels and now JM just confirmed it in his email. I’m fairly certain high hotel occupancy levels will happen even beyond spring break
