Yikes guys, sounds rough.

Regarding the 117 rules, hopefully rostering will be adjusted ASAP to ensure both crews and customers aren't put out because of these rules.

P.S. 35 hours in 7 days!! Yikes! I did 35 hours in 24 days last month.

Ha, I didn't think there was anyone left on these boards who I wasn't "out" to. There's a guy who, whenever he sees me at the airport, always yells "Teeeeee BUCKKKEEEEEET"

Actually that's acceptable performance numbers for the airlines. You are doing great son!

Seriously, is the meltdown this weekend due to weather or 117? I think it's a crappy coincidence that 117 hit the same time as the worst weather in a decade. But the scheduling uncertainty with no longer able to do LTF didn't help.

To answer the OP, I had twice as many flights cancel than I actually flew. Mostly due to the weather but several were due to lack of crews.
