Outstanding. A scheduler told me that a few summers ago. It must have been a special "only for you" rule. :)

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind for when I can hold a line 5 years down the road. :D

No, you just don't have a sexy voice like mine...

But seriously, that is not a rule. I have heard of schedulers saying that. I'd ask to talk to a supervisor if you hear that one again.

It was a guy scheduler who told me that. My sexy voice was withheld. :)

Gotcha. Vacation has forced me to reserve more times than I care to talk about. I've calculated that you have to be in the top 1/3 of the list to avoid it.

Volotea? I think that was it. Probably getting new paint there in SNN.

A week of vacation should pay 35 hours so 2 would be 70 instead of a laughable 42.

Pretty good...if we order new 320/319's. If not, I'd say very slim chance.

As for having A321s - no need, we've got a boatload of B757s
