I'm wondering why PBS let all those holiday trips (about 22 trips) drop into open time in the first place, when they obviously didn't have adequate reserve coverage numbers for Tday.
The GSs are flowing just like how the beer flows like wine in Aspen.

Same with ATL88B where the trips had been in the system all month. Most of them started on Monday and Tuesday and flew to Thanksgiving day. So they didn't have the coverage and split about 12 or so trips up and made a bunch of Wednesday-Thursday two days.

I think 9 or so 2-day GSs went out to cover so far. That'll pay for 9 Christmasfestoons this year. So much so my wife wants me to bid a line next year.

I too wonder how this was missed. Tons of coverage, but only 1/5th of it was available to fly over Wednesday night. I'm fine with it being built as it was and would prefer to not have a fix.

I agree, I just was wondering how it happens, if we are as "Overstaffed" as they say we are. The 5 777 Capt. trips I saw were all 5-9 day, 32-45hr.(x2) trips.

Lots more in there for Christmas next mo. too.

I've got to go buy the Turkey and spuds now...

So reading on the latest on what's going on in the middle east, I notice this article on the Rihanna 777 tour...






So is this the reason that 777A went to the 88A?

It's going to take months for the smell of alcohol and shame to dissipate from that airplane.

Speaking of streaking, it's not always a bad thing. See here the soccer player taking advantage of the situation...



if Rihanna streaks, than I think the moderators should allow the pics as is.

I mean there are only but so many MTV and TMZ types that a plane should have to deal with in a short period of time.

You can book positive space through Travelnet--> company business. Notify crew scheduling within 24 hours of sign in that you're going to deviate and that'll clear the sign in requirement.

And after it assigns you seat 42B, go back to Delta.com with your confirmation number and change to an Economy Comfort seat!
