Is it hard to get Cal layover lines out of ORD? Whenever the day may come that we start transition and classes again I am heading to Chicago. I am going to miss the flying out here (Not the commute!) and want to bid for flights heading out this way. I should be bidding in the low hundreds when I get there. Thanks!

you can say that again. Oh wait, 99 just goes too Fresno.

Man PM me I'll always hook a brother up with some In 'n out. I grew up in Bakersfield, and will be here till my class starts. But In 'n Out is pretty much walking distance from the sheraton

It's not hard, per se, but there aren't as many Cali lines out of ORD as there are out of DEN or SLC...and those lines seem to go pretty senior (mostly because it's cold out right now). Getting Cali layovers from PBS seem to be a tossup for me right now (I'm at 65%), but it's usually SkedPlus+ to the rescue! I did so much modifying this month that I only have one two-day trip (IDA layover) that is part of my original line!

That...and it's Merle Haggard's birthplace.

Just a note...if you have a long break in LAX you can take the "parking spot" shuttle to the In-N-Out that's right next to their garage. Just tip the driver a buck each way and they will be happy to take you, crews go all the time...

Make sure you take the Sepulveda bus, not the Century Blvd. Or hop out on short final to Rwy 24R.
