Is there anything new in the new SEA 7ER bid package?

Not quite sure what you're asking here but there is what looks to be a daily SEA to HNL trip in the bid package.

It's mostly domestic with a few 6, 11, 12, 13 day Asia trips. Also a few AMS 3 days. The FO side has a few 8 day relief lines to CDG.

Ferd,

I should have also mentioned the long Asia trips have some verrrry long SPN layovers. One trip has 37+, 38+, and 47+ hour layovers there. And it's not the only one!:eek:

Sorry..........just reread what I "attempted to type".

I thought we had lost the "daytime" HNLs to Alaska. NWA had one that departed SEA at 0830ish and returned early afternoon, getting into SEA about 9pm-ish. I was just wondering if we might get something like that one back.

The gate agent in PDX was complaining that they lost their HNL when marketing moved it from late morning to late afternoon and the loads dropped off (I'm sure so they could connect from back east vs originating). I guess Alaska is going to go earlier in the day.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Berry nice........take your spare liver:D

Also, I'll see if I can find my info for the park rangers. The WWII tour is a must do with that much time.

I've never been over to Tinian but with that much time you wouldn't have to worry about getting caught. The little planes that go back and forth are day vfr only. A little wx with the sun going down results in big pucker factors with a morning departure.

The LAX rotations have several "standard" 28ers that I'll bid. Also, looking at the carryout patterns, the NRT to SPN will leave earlier in the day and get there about 8pm-ish starting in Oct.........

See ya out there..........

Well, the only HNL trip in the bid package leaves at 1707 and is an allnighter back getting in at 0613..........Hope we have better luck than PDX........

Yup, at least according to one disgruntled gate agent that is what killed their 757 service..........who wants to get to HNL that late at night?

But, I can't imagine that SEA would lose theirs..........

The T4 extension looks just like the existing T4, its just an add-on dogleg type thing with 9 gates. The assorted carriers currently parking at T4 will all get booted out.


Saucer and Kremlin-looking-appendage with the horseshoe...gone!
The connector from T2 to T4 is gonna be really looooooong, like 3 times the length of the current T2-T3 connector....

Yes extended bins (on the other side) and leather seats and I guess the IFE in-seat is on hold until the new Weber-Panasonic Fusion seat with touchscreen comes out, it's a lot lighter because the seat was designed for the screen, not the other way around. Those are going in the 747, 7ER and MD90...

BTW. MD90 count is up to 36 according to the Flight Ops Memo

Denny, if you need another liver for your ER trips let me know, I am sure I will be in MSY soon and can pick one up, for a price.
