The Dhs are a constant issue with our company. I hear that you guys are now getting more and more of those. This time of year it is horrible to bump paying passengers because everything is full. Part of the problem is that they wait till the night before to make the reservations.
They "had a long day" Did they call in fatigued? I'm sure you realize that our crews dont have as great schedules as you guys do? On average we get 13-14 days off and wierd hours.
Which all goes to my point. I've NEVER seen a Frontier pilot do that. A couple of months back, I had a choice between losing pay by calling in fatigued, or bumping a passenger so I could sleep on the deadhead.
