I don't know if this post was directed at me or not, but if it was, I wasn't making up or stretching the truth about anything. In 2005, I was a junior MD-88 FO at Delta (just recalled from furlough) based in ATL, and 5 legs a day was nothing out of the ordinary for me, certainly not a rarity. I always used to love arriving at gate A-1 in ATL, and having to depart at gate D-35 forty five minutes later. Ah...memories.Originally Posted by Commando
I have very close friends at AA, DL, and UAL. And a five leg day is extremely rare!! more like 2 or 3 legs. Can't stand the blowhards here that stretch the truth to make it better than it is. UPS Blows. Admit it. Night Time sort, going to Alaska to start a Trip, awesome!! Idiots.
I'm on the 747, so I don't sit any night time sort. In fact, the norm is more like one leg, and to the hotel. There are some trips out there that are 2 legs (SZX-BKK-BOM and HKG-TPE-ANC) are a couple that come to mind, but I don't get them very often. In the last year, I think I've done each once or twice.
As for the commute to ANC...it's not a whole lot different for me from when I was a Delta new hire commuting to NYC from SoCal.
