I’m sure I’ll get the resident doom and gloomers telling me 99% furloughs/end of the world/moon landing was faked etc...but has anyone else noticed a growth in pax numbers in the last week and on to the coming days ahead? My flights have gone from around 0-5 booked pax a flight to averaging 20 up to 30 on virtually all my trips in the last 4-5 days and looking at trip sheets coming up, the trend appears to continue. I am not suggesting a miraculous rapid recovery is underway and maybe there is a very unexciting and explainable reason for it, such as pure coincidence, but I found it interesting to see none the less. Hopefully folks are slowly starting to get the itch to fly again.

I love how every station I go thru still has 17 TSA agents at each checkpoint... gotta love the government.

First trip back from LOA last month and I got randomed at the end of a 4 day, good decision not to partake in legal weed. Flight loads seemed slightly higher than when I finished up at the end of March but I'm guessing that had more to do with only having one flight a day to most of the destinations now. I'm definitely enjoying the schedule with more days off though; it beats the hell out of being worked to death by the normal schedules.

you were worked to death?? Glad you’re enjoying reduced hours.

4 on 2 off 6 on 1 off, yeah it's nice not to have that for a little bit especially as the weather is getting better. I can either look at it that way or be miserable worrying about being furloughed

No I didn’t, why how would that have helped?
