So rumor I heard today, PSA and Mainline flights continue to decrease in March however PDT to increase flying. Don't have any truth to it just a rumor, but (on a positive note) it would support the idea of needing to hire later this year.
It would be nice if we would get our aircraft utilization back up. I know it is the slow season and all but three planes came into CLT during the first 6am bank and sat there till almost 10. That is two legs per plane that could have been flown.
On a side note: What is the longest sit you have had on a scheduled crew. Just curious cause today we sat in CLT for 3 1/2 hours after an originator. Show was 4:25am fly to CLT nap for 2-3 hours then back to work.
