The 757-200 is the flat rate honey badger. It fits, it ships and it just don't give a f .

Yup. Not that I’m salty that I got kicked off it, but it’s nice to have a plane with that big an envelope. The NEOs sip gas, but you should’ve seen the gate agents face last month when he learned we had to kick 40 people off an oversold Hawaii flight….

Max fuel and the only way we didn’t have to kick more people off was to put min gas right up against planned gas and fly at .75 all the way over. Hey at least it’s a comfy office for a 7.5 hr flight

Side note: My FO was taking his family to Hawaii on paid tickets later that week and his phone rang when we landed offering him 500 bucks a person if he’d connect through LA. Basically paid for his airfare, so at least someone is winning from the 75 reductions

Thursday, are you crazy that's bowling league night? Every other Wednesday but only during months without an "R" in the spelling.

So interesting email about pausing the uniform roll out. Finally.

Sorry for the quote, can’t post without it from my phone.

Yes - that is annoying. Admins are aware of the above issue. In the meantime you can select “view full website “ from the hamburger menu in the upper left. This will let you post without quoting.

I often do that and then switch back to the more viewer friendly mobile option.

Additionally you can just quote someone and delete the quoted portion.

Reserve trips 48 hours out

How does it work if you have SC on day 1 and then a trip already assigned for the next day?

Anyone have any experience getting released from contact at 24 hours to report or is that exclusively for long call?

Thanks Scoop
