On a side note, the flights I've been working have been packed. 93%+ load factors.
Anyone try to book a jumpseat this morning? I just tried to book one to work for Tuesday the 4th, and both the computer and the VRU say I'm outside the window?
93% of nothing is nothing. All depends on the ticket price. Would be nice to know which flights make money and which flights loose money. If a 5 buck increase runs a customer off to another airline, what the heck. Seems as if it does not matter how good you are or how nice you treat the pax, it's all about price. That is why I hate branding ourselves with the regionals that could care less and give us a bad name. SWA, Airtran,Spriit, etc hold 100% of their destiny in their hands and do not have a regional out there doing a crappy job for them. Show me the money there. What do we make off the regionals????

The NBA wants to play ball in Europe over the summer. The charter would run similar to NWA's Asia operation: DH over, fly, DH back.
The short call question is in regards to the legalities of consecutive short call assignments. Let's say you are on SC today until 10 PM. At 3 PM skeds assigns you another SC tomorrow AM. You are not released; you must still sit out SC until 10 PM. Can you be considered legally rested when you are technically on duty, even though they didn't use you? Questions are being raised about this practice.

What is going on with he "new" MD-90's? I thought one or more would be in service by now and more "new" MD-90's on the way.
Tried to book one home 1 day beforegoing home and it said I was outside the window. Does not seem to work very well right now.

Oh well, guess if I don't get on I'll just call in honest for the next one.......oh wait
Thanks Denny,
Yeah I'll give that a try tomorrow morning if it's still not working. Not a big deal, there are still 5 open on the flight with no nonrevs or jumpseaters. I'm not that excited, just wondering.
