I also saw a 320 trip get assigned last week with 5 legs on one of the days and 4 legs on most of the rest. Ouch.

Is this a fluke, or has it been this way for a while?

The 320 trips are NOTHING like NWA used to build. 5 legs days, 9 hour overnights, 12 hours of rest to a redeye, 24 hours of rest to a redeye then 11 hours of rest for 1 leg to finish the trip(so you go to the hotel & then report again on the same calendar day).....you don't see anymore 8 leg 28 hour 5 days like NWA used to build.

And wait to you see the LGA-BOS shuttle trips!

5 legs on the 320 is easier then 5 legs on the DC9.

So intriguing. I actually got it from Wiki, but they have their sources listed.

I guess it was interesting to me because I never knew Continental was ever any good.

Sigh...noobs...

Continental under Bob Six was a complete class act. His wife, Audrey Meadows, whom you may have heard of, oversaw the inflight service.

Mr. Six was right up there with Tripp, Patterson, Frye and CR Smith.
