Does going to the Bahamas one time in 6 days while spending the rest of the week in all domestic locations somehow change 20 in 7 limitations?

Pardon my ignorance on this subject.

You sure your aren't looking at credit time as opposed to actual block time?

I remember walking up to a gate fat dumb and happy and finding a reserve crew already on the jet and a message from crew scheds to call

I wonder what Shoelu, Oscar and that housebroken viking are thinking about that picture.

Unless you do it in a 1900 , metro, or jetstream. Then your good for 34 in 7...never quite figured out why they should be able to fly more in those tin cans.

Notice the arm covering on the person doing the bath. If I tried to do that to my cat, you boys would move up a number. She may not get me then, or even tomorrow....but she would kill me in my sleep

It does seem like on average lines went very deep in most categories for April. I wonder if that has more to do with it being a long month and many categories getting 15 off on RSV or if we are truly not running as fat as some would have us believe.
