Please Work More Hours This Month

Looks like the fun has begun. If you fly a 57, get your a** to PHL and get that bird down here! 😛 😉

I used to fly a 757... but they are leaving the PIT crewbase this spring.

Soooo someone correct me if I'm wrong, here.

If you're short on pilots and flight attendants during a month which has only 28 days, how much worse will things be next month with there being 31 days -- or over 10% more flying to be done? Or are the bids and schedules not done on a calendar month basis?

Our bid periods average 30 days. For instance, Feb is Jan 31-Mar 1.

The f/a's are short, because the brilliant minds at this company have decided to send all the PHL f/a's to training that haven't been in the ITD in the past 2 years. (that is trans atlantic division) They don't think we can serve Envoy class without serious instruction on how to be a f/a. Believe me, the service isn't even as nice as our trans con flights used to be.

And since the ITD fence is coming down in May, all the ITD f/a's that aren't trained on the baby buses need to be trained, all of this takes place for PHL/PHW in Feb. Next month CLT/CLW will go through the same thing. Are you listening CCY? Next month you are going to be short in CLT/CLW!

Each week, hundreds of reserves are out of service for training, and block holders too. If they had just called me, I would 've told them they were going to be short, but they can't even figure out that Christmas is in December!

Another fine idea from the drooling retard think tank in CCY.
