The galley at door 2 comes out and first class is cut down to 20 with the forward coat storage bin at 1L or 1R on NWA planes coming out as well.

Well at least it's not the rear galley. :p

Thanks

They are regular pax flights. One real nice trip is a ten leg two day.

I just looked at Dc9 open time and there are trips in there past Jan 6. They were not there this morning, does anyone have any insider gouge?

There are open time trips up to the 21st. Guess the 9s are not going away, a least not yet.

Looks like the DC9 is picking up 717 flying. I believe Delta currently has 9 717s. Originally 16 were planned by the end of 2013.

speaking of the DC-9, I've got a question and I don't have my computer so I can't look up the contract and would appreciate some help.

I have a friend on the 9 who has an APD tomorrow. He's moving. Got done with his trip today and got rerouted into a turn tonight. Gets done at 11:40pm local mecca time. Add thirty minutes and it's into his APD day.

Is that legal? Or can they fly you until 3am or something on your APD and still be legal?

If he was back in his base he can't be rerouted into a turn. He should have declined the trip. They can on a legal reroute run you into almost any day off.

You meant Beer Can Factory, right? :D

Speaking of beer....I was just at my local Publix grocery store, and the Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye is back in stock! And it's on sale!

I got enough to get me through the Bama game tonight, unless they go to overtime! :eek:

What if he's on reserve?

Crew Tracking knows "nothing" about your schedule, other than the trip you are on. He should of called Crew Tracking and told them that he had an APD the next day and couldn't do it.

I've done that, I was on reserve, on a trip where the plane broke. And Broke. And broke some more, so they extended us a day. But the next day was a Golden Day off, so after reading the contract I called Tracking and told them that. 1/2 hour later they called back and put me on the next DH back to my base. This was in SEA so there was 7Er coverage right there, but Tracking doesn't know what you're doing after the trip, whether it's APD, Vacation, Golden Day, etc.
