4-5 legs. Ugh. Sounds like low tier regional airlines trips.

Lately….lines are high block with 0 rolm for buffer. Planning has lost their damn minds.

There’s a reason fatigue calls here are the highest they’ve ever been.

Luckily, you can swap out of pretty much any trip you don’t like pretty easily.

I rather like those....unless the turns are long (an hour or more). Maybe its 16 years of NJA fly an hour, sit 2, fly an hour, sit 3 fly an hour sit 4, but I like the go-go-go SWA stuff. The day goes faster and you spend more time flying than trying to stay awake while someone is watching Tosh O in the FBO at volume 12 while the company phone dings incessantly.

What is a low tied regional airline? Better yet ,what is a high tier regional airline?


Not all airlines can be run as well as TWA.

There are some regionals that have a tendency to run 30-45 minute flights. Others have a lot of longer, thin routes.

Can you give an example by using several regionals you are talking about ?

If you have a good understanding of regionals, it is self evident. I am not going to embarrass those that fly for them.

You are trolling. Good day.
