My concern for the future survival of CX is rooted in the disconnect the management team seems to have with reality. They see numbers on a spreadsheet and little more, as if excel can tell the whole story. They are excruciatingly slow to recognize other factors and account for them.
CMP is a perfect example. CX is only interested in the productivity and efficiency enhancements that come from the program. What they fail to recognize, typically, is that crew preferences are a critical component. Pilots flying harder, more tightly compacted patterns will only “buy in” if they observe their seniority based preferences being honored. Otherwise, “sickness” rates stay sky high, but you can’t see that dynamic on a spreadsheet so it must not exist.
