May Rotation 9617 for MSP DC-9B has a seven-leg day.

7:18 Blk, longest turn is 42 minutes.

11:05 LAYO the night before, 10:22 the night of.

It will be interesting to see if this becomes a way-of-life for the ATL DC-9.

They have the ATL rotation in May open time right now all 2 days and 5 days

How are you guys getting the May bidpacks? I've tried the trick replacing the URL for both the "all bidpacks" page and also the individual bidpack page with "MAY" from APR, but am just pulling up May 11 bids? Usually when that happens, they'll soon lock the URL and you'll get "Ligero errors", then finally the trick will work allowing 1-3 days early access?
Thx for any info/tricks!

Yikes. I just perused the ATLDC9 trips for May. Most of the 5 days are brutal! Not that I wasn't expecting it, but each 5 day trip has more legs than I've flown in the past 6 months. :p Most of them have back-to-back 6 leg days and the longest layover I saw was ~14 hours.

The upside is I'll be proficient again in no time!

How is commuting more pain than this? I know, i know: one man's garbage is another man's treasure.

I was just looking at the same thing...wow. Those are some ballcrusher 5-days. I'd need a week off to recover from that. There is some good news, though. Looks like several cities are gaining quite a bit of mainline service from the DC-9. Lucky for me, my commute city is one of them.

So, I'm working out at my local Gold's and I look over at the machine next to me expecting some hot SoCal chick...and it's Bruce ef'in Jenner. So THAT's what happens to you when you fly too many red eyes!!!!

Well, in the unlikely event we get our wish and bring some outsourced flying back in house...there will be more of those. I'm fine with that! :cool:
