The worst part; my pet peeve.
No attempt at collaboration from fleet to engage the pilot group. Just sneak it in there after six years of 48 hrs.
Any chance of an email a la "Look guys we're in danger of parking planes, it's a crisis, we need your help for a while and here is what we are prepared to give back"
And because of no engagement it becomes a self perpetuating Greek tragedy...no engagement, no loyalty ...more attrition.
It's like a watching a train wreck that can be prevented while the guy up the front will continue to go past the red signal while we scratch our heads ... Why oh why?
