For your first post A.a.f., it's certainly a beaut'!
I have been predicting this situation for some time. When you consider that the pilot numbers at REX are now some 10% in excess of what they were 2 years ago (prior the massive attrition, and prior to the reduced schedule), what you are saying is not as far fetched as it may sound. The problem is, the crisis regarding the severe shortage of Captains has in no way been adressed. Sound familiar? I recently flew with an F/O who showed me 8 days of straight reserve on his roster!!! What we have now is a bottom heavy seniority list, the responsibilty of which lies squarely at the feet of REX management.
I must however agree with eternity. Probably jumping the gun a little, even when dealing with a pathalogically reactive mangement.
Although I hear what you are saying Chadzat, don't underestimate the capacity of these guys to get it wrong either.
Interesting times for all concerned!
