Load Check
 

Could I get a quick load check please?
LIH-SJC Alaska Flight 190 on 4/5? Thanks in advance.

It’s sorta strange ID90 shows less than 5% available, the seat map on alaskaair.com shows over 60 seats open. I’m hoping it’s just an error on ID90.

The 60 seats are probably the super saver tickets that don't get a seat assignment until just before boarding.

This gets annoying since there’s a simple app you can just download. It’s free. Even us pilots can appreciate that.

A simple app? What might that be? We can access proprietary loads for any airline for free? Or is it a FB type app that will require one’s personal info and then blast across to a huge pool of users to get load data? What’s the difference between asking users of APC for loads versus users of a certain app?

It’s an app not what you’re saying. Easy to use. Give it a shot. I promise you’ll like it. I was skeptical at first, but it works.

Any idea how it gets load data?

Yes. You have to participate....kinda like people asking here, if you don’t want to pay for load info. So it’s basically other employees giving info, international carriers too. They give you 5 free ones to try before you have to give out loads to keep it free. I was skeptical too, but it works great. Give it a shot.

Heard of any pushback from airlines on folks giving out their proprietary info? Or do they not care since it's probably just OAL nonrevs?

I was thinking about that too...but nothing yet. They verify you’re an employee before they give you any access. I guess it’s more secure than some “guests” here.
