Quote: So I was looking at the ATL320 August bid package and noticed a trip on the 5th with a coveted ATL-PVR turn of 7.44 but then a 1.59 deadhead to DTW tacked on making a 9.43 day to a 13 hour overnight.

I have to say that’s the first of a long turn with a deadhead added. Has that been common on other fleets or bases or is this a new efficiency thing?

Anyways, pretty ugly bid package to say the least.
MGA used to be a stand alone turn... I did GSP-ATL-MGA-ATL the other day, no deadheads. Initially blocked at 8:24, but due to what happens happening, I ended up blocking 9:19 (after a 30 minute wait in ATL for a customs gate).

Squeezing a bit too much out of the turnip...
I’ve noticed they started or increased adding deadheads to the end of a 4 or 5 leg day, with tight turns, probably cause they can extend your duty day longer with a deadhead on the end

Can you show some examples of 5 leg days with a DH after. I am sure it happens but I bet it’s very rare.
Ocean Crossing over book
Will they flow main cabin PAX into 1st class if they are oversold on ocean crossings? For example if there are 10 first class seats but negative 7 main cabin would you expect that there are only three first class available for non revs

Yes. We will not leave revenue pax behind.

I meant a 4 or 5 leg with the 4th or 5th leg being a deadhead
I had one recently that was
Msp-Atl-mdw-atl
Then 38 minute turn for a deadhead

You need to be at the gate 30 minutes prior. The company usually does not build things that tight with the desire for reliability. Last time I had one like that we got to the gate 15 prior. Agent said we were to late. Released from the rest of the rotation. Home a day early.

Its the same on 737. ATL-CTG-ATL with dhd on 3rd leg. We also have couple 35 hr 5 days.
Looking at the DALPA Monthly Greenslip Report data shows Greenslips in May set a record for the month of May and almost broke the overall record. It appears the company plans to run a tighter ship staffing wise using Greenslips and Inverse Assignments as an operational buffer. Good news if you want to generate extra cash this summer.

Yeah but bad news if you want QOL.
