Guessing SAS or Icelandair. Americans are headed for WALL-E.

We got lots of surfers at HAWAIIAN, so I'd say us.

Definitely not DL. I asked about the quality of hotel gyms in overseas layovers and about half the responses were "just skip the gym and go grab a beer"

How are you expected to go for a jog when you only have 25 hours in Lisbon?!

Ditto on DAL…..but the bright side of it, is that it gives you a good feeling that your seniority will improve every time you look around when you go to work….

DAL probably does the most to actively discourage staying in shape. I was summoned to the CPO and told I can't race mountain bikes or motocross and even riding on a Supercross track was verboten.

I told them to stuff it as did ALPA.

Long term the occasional broken bone is cheaper than me being out on LTD at 50% high 12/36.

I say this as I'm chowing down on a begneit but I also did a 15 mike mountain bike ride this morning.

This is double funny because not only assuming 25 hr layover is too short to get a quick workout in, but also because most of these dudes associate going to the gym with just doing a little cardio.
