Yeah, I had the both ends of the spectrum my last trip. Some legs had 40 people and some were oversold.
I was very happy to see that the airport was very busy last night. It has not been that way the last few weeks.
Spring break will be a good indicator for us.

Pansk,

Trip rig is 1 hour for every 3.5 hour of the trip. Duty time is 1 for 2 and then 1 for 1 3/4. I believe this starts at 10pm but not quite sure. Suit up pay is 2 hr min. We also have a duty periord average which is the 5:15 per duty period. This DPA is only applicable to the duty periods that you actually are an active crew member of a flight ( no deadhead only periods). I believe DPA is only active for regular line holders. There is a reserve DPA and I believe that if you fly a leg on a reserve assigned trip for 15 duty periods, you are guaranteed 5 hrs a duty period. (As long as you have Not high yellowed). Off the top of my head, I believe these are correct but, to be sure, check the contract.

Denny

Yeah, LAX was hopping for the first time in weeks as well. Even CVG seemed busy (busier than normal at least).

Just did a 5 day and the loads were hit and miss. Cancun was full both ways, as was Miami. Other places like Bozeman and Kansas City were a little over half full. Lets hope the loads continue to increase.

Whenwe did it from SLC back in the 90s it was a Butte layover... Bozeman was pretty nice though too. What's the name of that steak place out in Manhattan?
