It's as if each is waiting to let the other guy be first to offer a commute type contract or 4 ALT's per year and then the wall will crumble… but as we all know, the culture is one of… you can't give in as it will show weakness and we certainly can't have that. We'd rather have pilots who are literally tired of our ways and fatigued to the hilt using layovers for basically getting caught up on sleep anymore these days.
Who will be the first….??? Lol….
