Anyone know which unit it was from?

Yes I know, nobody logs time anymore. This is actually oriented to corporate flying.

Yes, up to a max of 8 hrs for a part 121 operation.

Thanks. Didn't want to wake my buddy up this early with the "you alright?" call.

Bad week for this kinda stuff. Be careful out there

They do a lot of crew swaps there, ex Fairchild plane, Mildenhall crew or McConnell or SJ reserves.

ALK is getting balsy lately. They either have the full and complete blessings of DL management to morph into a massive east coast long haul super hub DCI for DL, or they found SKYW's stash of premium seedless ego that they copped on the corner from IndyAir before they got busted by the man and rolled themselves a fatty.

DL could, and IMO should, absolutely crush them on these new routes without dripping enough red ink for anyone to even notice. This is a great example of code share abuse within a marginally otherwise acceptable code share. DL should pull its code on that flight as well as anything to any hub. They shouldn't get a blank check to hub raid us (or AA as well) on their terms with a waiting supply of another airline's pax on core routes that airline doesn't need them on.
