3-4 legs on the 73 is an Atlanta thing. ATL has so many high density markets that are close by its just a "leggy" base for all non international fleets.

Never did a 4 leg day on the 73 in NYC. Hardly ever did more than two.

ATL717 trips are much more leggy than NYC717

Ive only done one 4 leg day in ATL in 3 years on the 737. Very rare to have those. 3 leg days are becoming much more common as you will do a turn and then off to a layover.

I did a 5 legger last year on the ATL73N. Haven't really seen one since then.

Cheez,

I guess I opened a can of worms on this one. OK everyone, I now officially retract my original post: Instead of "many 3 and 4 leg days" please insert "many 3 leg days and a few 4 leg days."

Next time I will run it through the WOPR, or possibly HAL (if he is available) instead of trying to answer the OPs question with a generalization.

Default Additional Vacation

Anyone have any information on purchasing additional vacation days? I looked in the PWA and the only reference I could find was that they are purchased via the Full Service Bank.

I would like to purchase 2 additional days to put directly in front of one of my vacations. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Scoop

Thanks. Specifically I am concerned about the placement of these days. I did not see any drop down menus related to placement of these days.

Is there any limitation on placement, other than directly before or after an existing vacation? I am trying to place them in front of a late September vacation so no holiday issues involved.

Thanks Scoop

Might have to call the CPSC for that. I've only placed them for the initial vacation bid, not after.

Just did this myself. Once you buy the days in iCrew call DAL vacation section to have them placed. Two gotchas. First, don't remove the bought days in iCrew after, and second, I think you have thru this week to complete, but don't quote me on this. If you need the # I can PM you. Cheers.
