Is that the LAX-DFW around 0045? It was planned that way for positioning purposes due to 748 and 749 going back to BNA today

They didn't bump up anything. Just following the contract.
There are more slots because there are more reserves pilots. Contract says there is supposed to be 18% unless they are short staffed. With close to 60 reserve FOs in LAX, we are definitely not short staffed.

I just learned about this mighty taco truck last week and I had missed it by a few minutes, I ended with the comment "I'll be sure to try it next week"..............., so I guess this is my fault, my bad

This is the dumbest thing ever! Here we are allowed to go walk around a plane, open and close compartments without this SIDA badge but yet we can't go get food from a taco truck?!?! Am I missing something here?!

It's stupid but that's the way it's always been...at least since SIDA became a thing. You've never been allowed on the ramp away from the footprint of your own aircraft. Certainly not with enough allowance to walk behind the terminal building and over to the taco truck.

It kind of makes sense...Sure sure, we are the pilots and can crash/hijack/whatever our plane all day long...But lots of people have self preservation. Someone may not be willing to damage their own plane MIGHT just be willing to sabotage someone else's.

TSA agents probably got sick of waiting in line behind pilots.

I would be shocked if they didn't.
