Roster Change, it would be fair to say that we do sympathise with your plight. I can only imagine the crap and pressure you get from our illustrious leaders to fill vacant seats, caused by their crap planning and complete lack of awareness of what it takes to run a decent flight operation.
However as long as we all prop up a crumbling system they will not be held accountable for it.
So if I may be so bold to make a suggestion. Next time you are struggling to fill the seats, sit back and relax a bit more. If the flights don't get filled, then the system might get fixed.
Otherwise you are just another poor bu**er with your finger in the dyke trying to stop the flood.
