Scheduling Meeting Recap
Originally posted October 5, 2026
Pre-Merger Alaska
On September 29, our pre-merger Alaska Scheduling Committee met with management to review operational data and address ongoing scheduling concerns. Key findings show an operation pushing the limits, with SEA Reserve utilization reaching 97.7% and systemwide YTD absences up 20%—leading to elevated reassignment rates and premium pay.
