25,000 (Scott Plyler and Dan O'Connor, Scheduling Issues)

Today’s SWAPA number is 25,000. That’s the number of days off our pilots have involuntarily given up since the beginning of the pandemic. On today’s show we decided to talk to SRC Chair Scott Plyler and member Dan O’Connor about this troubling trend as well as getting some other scheduling updates.

We’re recording this show in Austin while the NC is in active negotiations, and Kurt is downstairs in the room and therefore unavailable, so sharing hosting duties with me today is SWAPA SRC Manager Meagan Nelan.
