I have to say that’s the first of a long turn with a deadhead added. Has that been common on other fleets or bases or is this a new efficiency thing?
Anyways, pretty ugly bid package to say the least.

Squeezing a bit too much out of the turnip...

I’ve noticed they started or increased adding deadheads to the end of a 4 or 5 leg day, with tight turns, probably cause they can extend your duty day longer with a deadhead on the end

Ocean Crossing over book
Will they flow main cabin PAX into 1st class if they are oversold on ocean crossings? For example if there are 10 first class seats but negative 7 main cabin would you expect that there are only three first class available for non revs

I had one recently that was
Msp-Atl-mdw-atl
Then 38 minute turn for a deadhead

Looking at the DALPA Monthly Greenslip Report data shows Greenslips in May set a record for the month of May and almost broke the overall record. It appears the company plans to run a tighter ship staffing wise using Greenslips and Inverse Assignments as an operational buffer. Good news if you want to generate extra cash this summer.
