Well that was a nice big glass of fail trying to swap out the carryout trip with one trip in this bid period and one trip in the next. (lineholder in both)



Dude...you really should have warned us about the ending! :eek:

I nearly hurled my coffee all over my keyboard! :D

My wife heard the singing and looked over my shoulder, she screamed out "Oh my GOD, that's what I have to deal with all day long!"

Kick ***.... If you are online at 10am today... click for the earnings webcast. Premarket trading was up over $1.30


And FWIW, Mr Anderson told us the truth at the LCP meeting in March about this. (Not that I had any doubt.. ) but I am just pointing out that the gouge we have been getting at those meetings has been truthful and spot on.

That's the one that's killing the international categories ability to move trips around. Many of our trips have large amounts of block time, no credit, crammed into a few calendar days. If you try to back load one month, and front load the next month, it won't work any more, due to exceeding the 100/28.

Also, we now must have 3 nights at home between long legged trips, where as it used to be double the block time, so we can't stack the trips up as close together.

The good news (for some) is the super senior guys who have been getting a lot of greenslips, flying 120/30 can't do that any more, so those trips will spill on down the list.

The bad news is, the reserves are going to start flying more of those trips that had been W/S.

I'd call that a huge WIN for the company. :rolleyes:

On the -ER, I think you can back to back to back to back to back to back all the MEX trips you want.


Wanna trade? ;)

Yep. Think of all that money you don't spend when you don't fly a whole day's schedule.

I agree. Hard to find another airline out there with rock-solid management right now.
