Is this just speculation of movement? My number really hasn't changed much at all. Anyone in ATL on the 7/9 can see there are more pairings. But the block hours are actually less than last year. Notice they have no 4 days during the week. All 4 days touch weekends. And only about a hundred 3 days or so. It's all day lines and 2 days. I too was wondering why the number of pairings went up so much. And the ATL 200 is dwindling too. Yes there are some rest rule changes coming up. That proposes a challenge. That is the only staffing challenge I see.

The ATL 700/900 pairings went up because 2 more PQ tail 900s were delivered in Febuary and have hit the line. 5 of the 12 are on property, all 12 on property by May. Projected lines for March up from 160 to 200. Block hours down on the 700/900 from last year? I doubt that since we have more 700/900s then last year.

Good luck, man. Hopefully our MX can change the reliability. We can all dream!

Who cares about summer staffing? We all know we will be working our butts off with 12 days off/month, 100+ hr line values and we will all stop b!tching once they offer 200% open time. Same crap, different year.

If you ask the right guy I'm sure they will tell you compared to last year 7/9 block hours we may be less. Again I could be wrong as I haven't asked the right guy.

If I put in two prefrences, one looking for trips equal to 4 days with Sat, Sun off and the other with trips equal to 3 days with Sat, Sun off I come up with a total of 166 pairings. That's out of 885 total pairings. Just saying that only 20% of the trips that are 3/4 days do not touch weekends. It's an odd make up of trips that are mostly day lines and 2 days. Different than most months.

Yes more lines but the TLV has been dropped by 10hrs. Makes a difference. I was only pointing out the fact that at first glance I saw more pairings. Then realized they were mostly 2 days and day lines. We lost 8 700's from last year and acquired 5 (currently on property) 900's since. That's still down 3 aircraft at the moment. Unless I'm missing something. Which I'm sure I'am. This is ATL 700 though. In which we are talking about staffing issues and flying.
