Sooo... I said MCO-PHL, and 1807 is the reverse. However, my point is valid. Look at AA at the same time, over 100 open theirs as well. And since you brought it up, look at the 7pm:

AA - about 2/3rds full
F9 - Overbooked by 2

But this is all pointless. The point here is, what you fly is not representative vs. what is occurring throughout the system.

All pointless. And "evil AA" is not the measuring stick either. Different product all together. Well, they fly Airbus.

The also have wi-fi available, a Frequent Flyer program and VIP Lounges, etc.

Have a good day

We don't have a VIP lounge, but we do have a mosh pit and carry-on roulette.

What I can't figure out, has every captain lately been adding 2000 lbs on every flight that it has become a problem and the company must now limit captains to 1,000 lbs???

Why would we be putting more restrictions on Captains to conduct a safe flight and not at least put out a memo out?

They did put out a memo, and the Captain still has the authority to add as much fuel as they want.

Line pilots will do line pilot stuff and office people will do office stuff. Nothing to see here

I agree.

I know pilots complain (me included) but this affected me absolutely ZERO. I haven't ever needed to add more than 1,000 lbs to a flight and if I ever did, the memo/guidance does not and would not prevent me from doins so.

Not exactly F9 news but Indigo owns a portion of Lynx.

interesting to see the article ends with the race towards rock bottom prices no one wins. Merge or die to increase prices. Sounds similar to what we see here, and the JB/NK acquisition which would’ve inevitably raised prices.
