I have the 530am Bangor departure on Saturday....what's the point of even going to bed?

I just got this from Epic's news section. Looks like Freedom's getting some reduced flights out of MCO.

Delta's cuts include four routes from Orlando --Charleston, S.C.; Columbia, S.C.; Greensboro, N.C.; and Little Rock,Ark. -- that are not currently flown nonstop by any other airline. Italso will end nonstop service from Orlando to Miami, Fort Lauderdaleand Las Vegas.

Elliott said Delta will "substantially" reduce flightsfrom Orlando to other cities as well, including Boston; New Orleans;Richmond, Va.; Raleigh, N.C.; and Knoxville, Tenn.

shoot, meant to get some more KY at the store. This is going to pinch a little.

Hey if SBS will take it why not? I wonder if we can do 12 minute turns in DCA with a crew change? SBS says we can! And Customer Service always wonders why we're late. I feel a reduced rest coming on!

Meh... every time I get reduced rest, I always seem to get one of those blasted side effects... I wonder if this time it'll be headache, lack of sleep or the flu.

How long does it usually take to get something approved if you picked something up from the SAW? I'm not sure if my request went through or not, I don't have a box at the bottom with request pending. I just got a page which looked like a printout where they approve or deny? Is that right? Also, I know you can request to drop legs, but can you request just to pick up 1 or 2 legs from a four day in the SAW?

If you got that page on EPIC that usually prints out in ops for a trade, then it went through. Whether or not you got it is another story. They usually do two "pulls" every day. One at noon and the other at 5 pm and go through the add/drop/trade requests. All SAW requests are awarded on a first come first serve basis and also have to adhere to contractual and legality rules.

Technically, you can't request partial adds or drops during the SAW, although they have done it in the past. It depends on who the planner is and what mood they are in I guess.

Thanks! Well, If I get the trip, great! If not, I'll have 2 extra days off.
