I heard some rumblings of TSA reducing it's presence in ORD to concentrate on DEN, due to Republic pulling out. Any words, either confirmed or not?

Wasn't mentioned at the town house meeting. Ord always had it issues, since it was supposed to be our biggest base. But now it's been stagnant for the last year or so.

As someone in ORD, its been pretty stagnant. Lines can definitely be improved. I really don't understand how they build lines anymore. I do more DEN and IAD flying than I do ORD. I'm trying to get to DEN so I hope that growth that everyone keeps talking about is actually true. Can't tell you the amount of times I've been told "It'll happen next month" or "It'll happen after the holidays."

Anyone flying with unusual amount of broken planes? Lack of mechanics? It's not even summer.

In my last few trips, I've actually had a surprisingly low amount of broken planes. The past 3 days I've flown it has been 0 MELs.

Haven't broken any planes myself. But I've caught a lot of stuff not mel right. Or dispatch not giving second alternates.

Meh. It comes and goes in waves. Some trips I will have zero mechincals, zero MELs and as result, no delays.

Other trips i feel like a salmon swimming upstream with an anchor strapped to my tail. 5 MELS, EICAS cautions in flight etc...


Just seems like chance to me.

Default RDU trips

Any word on how RDU is doing, domicile-wise? What's a typical day like?

Still small which means inefficient. Oxley said the main reason it remains small is due to flight attendants. You'll start out going to LGA/JFK/PIT and spend most of your time in and out of Canada and other short legs
