Why all that gas?! Traffic? Winds? Delays? Tankering? We might put 11200 to from IAD-IAH or ORF-IAH. Just seems ridiculous and like some poor planning on someones part. Don't mean to get off topic, but Christ...thats gotta suck as a commuter. Who is MQ, by the way?
MQ is American Eagle....No the flights I work are the return back so ROC to ORD. They took the high fuel load becuase it was during a snow storm and the vis was 1/4-1/2 ovc 002 plussnfzfg and whatever else was going on, and the alts were something like cle and cvg.....
Anyhow anyone have any suggestions on my orginal post. Im leaning more toward Colgan right now just becuase I can drive to base and not have to worry about ATC, weight rest., cancels, mechanicals and anything else you can throw in there.....
