In the reserve guarantee section It references section 4G which talks about weighted rate based on number of aircraft

F is the secret, or was. There was an article in the news about people going to F to skip the long security lines at the main terminal. So the secret is out. Damn.

But I talked to a tsa person about whether someone could go there or not and they said absolutely they could. The bag thing however is an airline driven problem and Delta may not let you check bags for a domestic flight there and none of the non international carriers have check in there.

Btw my wife was reading me the article and TSA supervisor was complaining that people going to F mess up, ready for this, get ready... staffing. Anotherwords, imho, if the lines are short there and people went there and lines shortened at the main terminal then staffing is correct. If people don't do that then staffing is incorrect and they need to hire more. Hmmm.

We made it to MDW, not looking forward to security coming back. Too bad MDW doesn't have an F terminal.

That's not the right area. That's if they use get FAA approval to fly the different airplanes by the same crews but don't merge the categories. Look at the example.

Section 4. C. 1 is the section to look at.

There are no first class seats on the 330. There are about 8 aircraft left using a business seat. They are modifying about one per week so all should be done soon.
When all fleets are done the 330-200 will have two bunks in the lower tail and the 330-300 a single bunk aft of the wings. Both compartments are shared with the F/A's. The 200 has a hard wall and the 300 two heavy curtains. On both aircraft the compartments are noisy and in the 200 the yaw dampeners keep you in motion. In the 300 the seat belt chimes in the bunk every time the switch is moved and cockpit PA'a are blasted into the bunk.
The 767 bunks are vastly superior then either bus.

The -300 pilot bunk should be de-certified as a Class 1 rest facility.

(1) Class 1 rest facility means a bunk or other surface that allows for a flat sleeping position and is located separate from both the flight deck and passenger cabin in an area that is temperature-controlled, allows the flightcrew member to control light, and provides isolation from noise and disturbance.

The 767's equipped with bunks are fantastic. I was referring to those.

You mean the 76T, with the bunks right by the L1 door, the "Condo"? Those were amazing...
