Basically, subtract the actual time for the 29th and 30th of the you want to swap into from it's total time then add that to your Oct. time minus your other trip.

I still think regional flying should be no different than the DAL-ALK deal. You're flying on a different airline paint scheme and all and it's never ever referred to as anything but a seperate airline. No Delta Connection, no United Express, no Continental Express. It's Comair, it's Shuttle America, it's Expressjet.
As to Lake Charles. That's not the first time that has happened. Before I started flying there we had a crew do the same thing because that private field and the crappy and small Lake Charles airport airlines fly into are only 6 miles apart, about the same latitude and runways face the same direction.
I just remember the drum beat of being mindful of that issue when going in there late on a visual and the tower is closed, as in nobody to catch your mistake as you switch off Houston center and go to ctaf.

It didn't say what type of airplane it was but...did they have a magenta line to follow? I've often had to "follow the magenta line" to find some of the little places, just to be sure I was at the right one!
Years ago (1987) a Delta mainline crew put a DC 9 into Frankfurt, KY, while looking for CVG! It was at night, in the rain, shooting an NDB approach to CVG, they popped out of the clouds, saw a lit up runway and landed...then it got intersting trying to find the gates! Luckily most of today's airplanes having glass cockpits and magenta lines to follow.

From the looks of it there is nothing there to make a magenta line... http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviatio.../4/1102486.jpg

Report darkens Bombardier C Series hopes - The Globe and Mail
Maybe without the orders they want and cash to play with BBD will instead drive this aircraft harder and faster towards being on time and the performer they promised. It's hard now but maybe it'll work out for them in the long run because of the simple axiom you can't waste money you never had unless you're the government.
Here is a picture of the C-Series if anyone doesn't remember what it's going to look like...
Republic? Who are they? Oh wait a minute... aren't they that conglomeration of airlines that flies for us and runs our competitor Frontier all under the same roof and management team? And pilot seniority list? And HR and recruiting departments? And so on...
...The airlines surveyed have a favourable view of the plane and the 20 per cent reduction in fuel consumption that Bombardier is promising, but are wary of the costs of adding a new type of aircraft to their fleets, concerned about price, and cautious about whether the C Series will meet its performance targets and be ready for delivery in 2013...
...It was in the running for a Delta Air Lines Inc. order for 100 planes, but Delta said this week that it is putting off an order for planes seating between 100 and 150 passengers after reaching a deal with Boeing earlier this summer to buy 100 larger narrow-bodied airplanes. The Delta delay underscores how airlines are cautious about the plane, in part because they’re worried about the health of the U.S. and European economies...
