Does anyone know when/where the 717's actually start flying? I was bored, so I was checking travelnet for late Oct and I couldn't find a 717 on any of the city pairs I expected to see it.

Question on the rotation printouts... Does anyone know what "CP" means in front of a flight #? I know a "D" means deadhead, but how bout this one:
CP5831
It's a DH for sure because the trip printout shows it's time as DH time on that day on the next line... just wondering what the CP there, or sometimes it says "OO", what they mean?

On a similar "WT F does this schedule mean?" note, I noticed in the Jul wide reports some trips that have a "+" next to the layover on the last day; for instance, on a 4 day trip the layover cities on the top look like this:

JFK AUA JFK+

which I thought maybe meant it released a day later, say 0005 or something, but this trip releases at 1630ish.

Thanks for the schedule reading help

It means your DH is on a compass flight.

I'm not a DL pilot, but it sounds like it is the carrier operating the flight. CP=Compass and OO=Skywest. That looks like a Compass flight number.

I'm not a 100% sure but that is what it sounds like.

It's a compass flight, CP is the airline code
CP 5831 is Msp to Msy I think

Don't quote me but what I was told by one of the 717 LCA was that they'd look at the DC9 schedule and swap a 717 on the route randomly. So if a 9 was going to BNA today they could pull it and put on a 717. But I don't understand how that works if the DC9 seats more than the 717, that'd mean bumping passengers. But that was what they explained while sitting on the js the other day.

Also he mentioned doing OEs via that already acquired 717. Old school training in the plane!

Although I think this was a LCA that couldn't actually hold 717 A? I'm not sure I understood what was going on there.

You may have seen this. But it's an interesting article juxtaposed with our stock performance today...

I thought we had added captains since C2012.

Let me put on the headdress and get into Hatin' On Commuting Commuter mode.



One poster a few weeks ago got upset about people calling in sick and still posting here. He mentioned if you could post here, you weren't sick.

So keep that in mind and here is my ruling:
  • Man up. You're never too sick to fly an airplane. Period.
  • Can you still post here? Yes? You're not sick. Period. In fact, you're never too sick to fly.
  • The fact you got hit by a car is your own fault, you shouldn't have been going home anyways.
  • So in my final ruling on this hypothetical question, no sick leave for you. You thief.

Isn't the plane getting paint down in MIA now? I wonder when it will be done.
