They both end with DH's to MEM and no return to the ANC base... must be a new cost cutting measure and your meal box will come with a lump of coal.

I didn't think that was allowed. Do you think it's Christmas gift for some commuter. Or maybe a plan to try and get some commuter to pick it up.

I think someone is sleeping on the job - not that there is anything wrong with that.

Trip 4 does return to ANC after a 2 day layover, while trip 82 ends in Memphis. Very strange.

I still have a DEC trip with a CAN (Guangzhou) layover? Did we hear that those would be revised? Well, it's been revised 3 times but the CAN layover is still there? Ideas, comments, thoughts?

Wha??? Where do you see trips 4 and 82 in those incomprehensible strings of mumbo jumbo? Is this like one of those "what zulu time is it where you are" kind of things?

Sounds like a good deal for an ANC guy. 1 day of pay per day until they build a pairing back to ANC.

Our trip number is not our flight number- There's no where it said trip 4, unless you go to the company page... Hope this helps

The first one is Flight 98 (00980)

Mark,

Ideas: If you can't identify the food, it's probably dog.
Comments: Get a massage, it's cheaper than a beer in the hotel, and it feels better too.
Comments: Don't complain, there's plenty of guys who would love to be in your shoes. Why, only G_d knows, but they would.

Fly safe.
