I use 5 Towns for day sleeping, a $40/night hot rack pad in an undesirable neighborhood (but the place is nice inside and the owner shuttles you to and from the airport for free) for short overnights, and a $50/night hot rack pad near Kew Gardens for longer stays. If you're interested in any of those solutions, drop me a pm and I'll give you contact info.

Hopefully no more than 16.

Just don't know how many 70 seaters for 76 seaters we'll need to exchange to get 16 773s... 102?

The good news is that that would be a significant scope recapture.

Maybe we could configure a bunch of 757s to a single class configuration to compete. We could call it Song! Just a thought.

Thank goodness they'll start parking the 88s when we start getting 717s.

Anyone on reserve ever notice their RAW score go down?

I've been off for a few days and my score has gone down twice without working. First just one point, now another 4 points. How can that happen?

Thanks.
