Yes and no. I started out with some older AA FAs that were actually nice and they took care of the place, which was a plus. After they left, the DAL FA new hires moved in and they were fun to be around and kept us on our toes. But after they left and the queen FA moved in, we all moved out! I hope never to go back to that!!!

A Global can leave ASE IFR, using runway analysis special departure procedure, at about 80,000 (15c). The SDP is the LINDZ, but you turn to intercept the LOC course to LINDZ at 10.3D south of RBL. In the sim, it works fine, a couple of terrain warnings, sometimes. For real, probably, a mind concentrating event.
I have taken full pax load and fuel for HPN and generous fuel. A certain published writer and high-time Global guy did PHNL out of ASE, VFR of course.

Leaving Stuttgart today, via airlines UGH!
ASE is at 7800' with 8,000' of runway for take-off, 7,000 for landing. 15 has a 2% upslope, so that made things worse for this crew.
80,000# is about 5.5-6.0 hours with good reserves, alternates plus an hour.
Fisher: the 605 will make the east coast out of ASE, but that's about it.

Even if they did everything right, that was going to be tight.
Have a good trip back. I hope you packed your long johns, it's going to be very cold when you get home.

Wow, that's a pretty short runway for that elevation! I'm wondering what their approach speed might have been (140?), and then correct that to true airspeed at 8000', then add the 30 knot tailwind. I'm guessing their groundspeed was around 200? Trying to land on 7000'??

Anyone know if you can be awarded a spill pairing white slip that would be under the max pick up for the current bid period, but would put you over the next bid period?
For example: If my max pick up is 10:00 in JAN and 0:00 in FEB, could I be awarded a 16 hour 3 day that has 9:00 in JAN and 7:00 in FEB?
So, does it look at both bid periods, or just the current?
Thanks.
