I was singing John Lennon's 'Mind Games' when I walked out with the job.
I get what you mean brother.

Flight Ops just posted a memo covering questions about MCO. Looks like they are going to have awesome schedules down there; and hopefully it improves schedules at the other domiciles by removing the flights to/from the east coast on the first and last day of the trip.
45-55% Turns
25-35% 2-Days

Where did you get this? I didn't get a memo from Flight Ops.
Nevermind it's on the union website.

How can you feed the East coast side of the network with just turns? Is ORD going to remain large?

Chicago is forecasted to remain roughly the same size (small continued growth to reach 200 pilots). The turn lines will evolve into trips as the base continues to grow. According to the memo this schedule will carry F9 into the Fall as the MCO base is grown.

Default Route Map



I think it's helpful to see the route map when discussing bases and routes. It does seem like Orlando being day turns and two days is a bit of a pipe dream

I think it is plausible. Chicago was 46% turns for June. And I'm sure there will be some directive to make MCO look as desirable as possible, schedule-wise, to attract movement away from DEN.

I think that route map is going out the window when MCO opens. Obviously the changes have significant competitive impact, so they won't be released until the company publishes their new schedules (humm - wonder why we can only book out through October on the website?), but the Eastern Seaboard has a ton of O&D traffic which may fill 230 seat 321s.

Day turns and two days suck for commuters, but if you live in base they're golden. Can't wait to hear the top 10 guys on the list go off on the union site about how a more Jr pilot can hold MCO lines which have 18 days off, weekends and holidays off but they are flying on a Saturday in July.

Just like every other airline, trips will have different characteristics depending on the Domicile / equipment. If you read the memo (PLEASE DON'T POST IT ON APC!) with some imagination and an eye to where the money is, I think the allocation of ASMs becomes clearer. Anybody up to my $.04 bet yet :-) ?
