737 in DTW is typically 1-3 legs a day, I can count on one hand the number of times I've done 4.

When you bid CQ by selecting the identifier, does the start date include the travel day?

3-4 legs on the 73 is an Atlanta thing. ATL has so many high density markets that are close by its just a "leggy" base for all non international fleets.

Never did a 4 leg day on the 73 in NYC. Hardly ever did more than two.

ATL717 trips are much more leggy than NYC717

Ive only done one 4 leg day in ATL in 3 years on the 737. Very rare to have those. 3 leg days are becoming much more common as you will do a turn and then off to a layover.

I did a 5 legger last year on the ATL73N. Haven't really seen one since then.

Cheez,

I guess I opened a can of worms on this one. OK everyone, I now officially retract my original post: Instead of "many 3 and 4 leg days" please insert "many 3 leg days and a few 4 leg days."

Next time I will run it through the WOPR, or possibly HAL (if he is available) instead of trying to answer the OPs question with a generalization.

Default Additional Vacation

Anyone have any information on purchasing additional vacation days? I looked in the PWA and the only reference I could find was that they are purchased via the Full Service Bank.

I would like to purchase 2 additional days to put directly in front of one of my vacations. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Scoop
