You guys have so many planes there it seems. Do you have an entire hotel to yourselves?

Suprisingly, Not as many Pilots layover in IND as you would think. At least not any more than our other Hub cities or OAK and EWR or DFW.

One of the most reasons KIND will never be a pilot domicile is the lack of commercial air service into and out of the Indianapolis metro area. Ther aren't enough seats to handle all the deadheads in our schedules.

Now you are just as likely to connect thru ATL from MEM as you would be from IND.

Do you guys have a lot of deadheads? Is it on company aircraft or Airlines?
