Default Reports from the Front Lines

I've been off for the past two weeks but about to jump back into the flying fold. Looking at the "flight information" data on MiCrew, I've got several legs with less than 30pax in my immediate future.

From the folks that are flying domestic narrow-bodies specifically, are your trips going as scheduled or is crew tracking having their way with you once you report?

Finished a trip Sunday, which is forever ago as fast as things are changing. But, we flew as scheduled, just very light.

Just finished a 5 day today on the baby bus. Loads sub 100 every leg. Went completely as scheduled without a hitch. 321s are way easier to board/deplane with 50 people. We could barely open the cockpit door before everyone was gone. I do feel like trips will start being adjusted today more than they have. My commuter flight home this morning was cancelled.

I flew a Dakar trip Sat/Sun/Mon

90% full over, oversold on way back and heavy as hell (lot of cargo) both ways.

Commuting? 50 seat RJs had 30+ empty seats onboard.

I dropped a plane off in the desert. Many behind us.

My biggest concern heading out later this week is getting food. I assume most of the restaurants in the terminals are still open?

All the restaurants in ATL were open. I flew 15 to Birmingham. Hotel restaurant is closed but they are doing room service.
Hotel is empty except for airline employees and I still got a crappy room.

You get the sweet view of I-20 out your window?

Nah the far corner twenty minute walk. Not enough traffic on I20 to make any noise.

I know that one. It's in between the elevator and the ice machine. The emergency exit and housekeeping closet is across the hall. And it's on the floor with the eighth grade dance team.



Oh, and it has bed bugs.....
