Yep. Pulled into the Eagles Nest today and had another Compass AE175 behind us get sent down to C1 remote parking. They offloaded via stairs and bused the passengers back.

Interesting...I wonder what the long term plan is for that. Those poor passengers had to take TWO buses to get to terminal 4! Lol

That was probably me. According to our gate agent, it happens every Saturday. Too many planes finish their days early, and the nest runs out of room fast. Despite the poor gate planning, I'm very impressed at how well AA Ops handled the super remote parking. There was absolutely no delay in getting the pax off the plane, onto the bus, and to the terminal.

i feel like the nest needs to be a controlled movement area, not by ground but by ramp like the rest of the alleys....there is a lot of congestion over in the nest.

I've heard the comment of DFW maybe becoming a base just because LAX soon won't have room for AA overnighting aircraft and DFW has the room and currently has several overnighting crews each night. Just a comment a pilot made, not really a rumor or based on much. But makes sense to me!

No eagle is not going to have a dfw base for e175, envoy is going to have a e175 base in dfw. Not much but a difference still.

Bit of an off-topic question here, but can anyone shed some light on the Compass rules regarding facial hair on pilots? I've flown in Europe for 10 years and always had a neatly trimmed beard but I've heard that most US pilots are prevented from having anything other than a moustache because of the O2 masks. Does Compass have a policy on this?
