This is true, less frequency with bigger planes (mostly). Which means less jumpseats and less opportunity to make the flights.

Less frequency, higher load factors and more domestic travelers than pre-Covid. That also isn’t even talking about how our operation now is hanging on by a thread of 12-15,000 GS a month, double what you could expect in 2019. You essentially now are playing with fire that this doesn’t cause big problems when just 1 thing minorly goes wrong.

but as said above they will never admit or allow it to be blamed on PSC.

Don't forget that Delta now has a free "standby on an earlier flight" policy.

ah, that makes sense. I didn’t realize. One thing that also seems to have changed is that there are really really early departures and arrivals at the out stations. Like 0540 departures. I don’t remember so many of those before covid. Maybe they are trying to stretch out the planes we have.

That's wgat is wrecking nonrev and commuting. Same day standby needs to go.

Including also that most planes only have 1 JS, except the 319/20/21 and some ERs

I like how you named 3 types of airbus and then used a bid category. Most if not all 767-300s now probably have 2 jumpseats, only the TWA 757s do.

I always get PS First Class seat 1A. Well it costs me about $200 RT to fly my Mooney to work but it saves 1/2 day or more on each end of a trip.

Wouldn’t that be seat 0A?
