So it got me thinking, how do I get some of that charter action....its gotta beat the staedy diet of Bogota's I have been gettin lately!
I looked at the charter page on Deltanet, with no success....heck I even searched this thread without any luck. Is it SUPPOSED to be a secret? Does it have a secret handshake and password at the jetbridge?
Maybe you better PM me
If the Company knows about them, then they go in th regular bid package for the month. On the 737 there was a Captain who loved flying charters, so he'd try to talk the pilots on the trips to swap, which he sometimes could do since his normal lines were senior to the charter stuff.
So you can (1) bid for them, and (2) try to swap for them if you have something good to trade and are not afraid of making someone angry when you randomly call them from the dbms info. If you try method #2, have something good to trade. Option #3 is sit reserve. Often these things pop up a couple of days out.
Charters typically run odd hours from odd parts of the airport and sometimes get unwelcome attention. The food is good, but the hassle is not my thing. If I had one, I'd surely let you have it.
