Whats up with our loads ??? I've been flying usually full routes (NYC to anywhere in FL) and the loads have been way off. In fact, some of my flights were half full! This is Thanksgiving push, something is off. An MCO gate agent told me that their numbers are way off and have never seen them so low.

You catch on quickly for a guy with a fake type rating.

Yep. When you have a page open, tap 3 fingers on the screen at the same time. This will take you to an options menu that will allow you to pick which browser Journey "pretends to be". I choose Firefox and it works for me. You can play around with the selections if you're having trouble with a particular site.

Why are some of us (and not just Slowplay this time) already rolling over?

RA has called the MD-88 a "powerful weapon." Well, no sh!t, if you can increase the capacity without increasing the pay.

To the smartass who's about to say, "it's only $2/hr"-- Don't.
Dont worry. You might break $ 68K this year...... Might as well go back to your role playing games.

Look on the bright side. At least you have a 15 year upgrade on a DC9 to look forward to.

Twas the week before Thanksgiving.........

The loads as it pertains to LF are up but to body count are down YOY. Do not worry, you will not be able to get anywhere soon.

Jet Blue must be kicking out butt.

Slow;
You are overly pragmatic in all things DALPA. Sometimes it is good not to argue the big picture and go after the little stuff.

In reality you have a glass have full view of events. It is good to have that. There is not fluff or false sense of "maybe"
IMO that is what is needed. We need to start shooting for the stars and stop being so predictable.

No... Jetblue's loads suck just as much. Just finished a 4 day and loads were 65-70% range... even on FL flights.

I was joking. Leisure markets are generally slow this time of year.

If you want to gauge the economy look at the ATL-DFW loads. When there are 40-50 seats a flight, then we have bad loads.
