Default How Many of You Flew Empty Airplanes today???

The headline says it all folks......3 legs today....4 passengers total.....2 of them were non revs!!!!

We flew back Empty from CMH....so we all decided to change clothes and fly in shorts and tee shirts

AWAC is going to tell us the amount of pilots who will be furloughed next week.....they preach "SAVE GAS!!!" to us.....meanwhile....they dont cancel or reduce flights on a day like today

The one passenger we flew to CMH felt terrible for us...and wanted to switch to the later flight which only had 7 checked in.

^*$%#*%(&*&)*^$%$#^^*+*

Rant over

my flights from RDM to PDX on the Brasilia originally had 2 people but took 4, and then on the way back we had 24.

The other day from FAT, it was a full boast to LAS and on the way back was 12.

My personal fav during training in SLC was doing the fam js ride we had me and a nonrev to Sun Valley, and then on the way back 7 people. I guess it was the first flight of the day there and the rest of the days flights were full i guess.

Might be becuase capacity has been cut pretty good in SLC. I've noticed pretty high loads since the Aprilish cuts.
