It is very quiet and roomy.

From a pilot standpoint, it also pays more.

Just kidding,

LOL. As a former ER pilot that I understand! (Although it's a nice plane, I'm still not thrilled about "flying" the bus) My point is anytime we can swap an aircraft for a larger plane that pays more I'm all for it.

If we got a chance to swap 8 A330s for 8 B744s I'd be all over that too. That's coming from a southie who's fenced off the 744.

Do they process swap with pot requests at the same times?

Or is that once a day/processed differently

Not true. The fence will still apply.

Swaps are run at the same times as WS and drops, but AFTER WS and drops.

I believe the order is, Drops first, then White Slips, then Swaps.

Drop? Whiteslip? Swap? What are these magical things of which you speak? The great Landreu never told us of such things.

We've got nothing in open time, any time, except a last minute LOS that will show up now and then. It's been so long since I've done it, I've forgotten exactly which runs first.

Cmon Carl. A real pilot would have asked "what does she look like and is she single?".

You can't buy multi-day tickets at the discount though. Have fun!
