That's out of 885 total pairings. Just saying that only 20% of the trips that are 3/4 days do not touch weekends. It's an odd make up of trips that are mostly day lines and 2 days. Different than most months.

Unless I'm missing something. Which I'm sure I'am. This is ATL 700 though. In which we are talking about staffing issues and flying.

If you ask the right guy I'm sure they will tell you compared to last year 7/9 block hours we may be less. Again I could be wrong as I haven't asked the right guy.
We lost 8 700s, added 6 700s and 3 900s last fall, and now this winter we've added 5 out of 12 900s.

Yup. That's it. I'm on board with the line bidding system from L-XJT

It has nothing to do with PBS. Regardless if we had line bidding or pref bidding, you'd be flying. Delta had a large shift of flying. Unplugging us from DTW on the 200 somewhat and out of MSP on the 700. Not much changed for IAD or DFW. Just think if you had line bidding, you could be getting screwed with no recourse during integration.

Look for stuff to keep shifting. Much more LGA flying and more CVG flying starting in April on the 700 according to management.

Unstacking must be eliminated! Especially in a non-holiday month. While I do agree PBS is far superior to line bidding, unstacking tends toward a globalized system! Can anyone involved please explain why we need to unstack in early March!?!? Sounds like understaffing to me!! I was told we fought long and hard against globalization!
