He says that this
airline is cutting back on flights right and left, as many of their
pilots are calling in sick. I can't see how that should be a problem,
as all they need to do is call another pilot in for the flight. I am
sure that they plan for things like this.

NWA has laid off too many pilots. What is happening is that towards the end of
the month, the pilots are reaching their limit for flying and not able to fly
the last couple of days. NWA in turn has been canceling flights at the end of
the month because they don't have crews available.Theoretically, NWA should be
able to hire sufficient new pilots and adjust their schedule to address this
problem, but it takes time.
