70 to 75% range. Original Sep sked was 85 hrs. Dropped three of my four 4 day trips in Sep and rebuilt. Two 4 days were dropped in initial, one in DOT. Got all the days off I wanted with 83 credit. Your position doesn't hold water.

The engineers in Toulouse designed the A320 with the lowest common denominator in mind, say, a Sub-Saharan First Officer with a bone still stuck through his nose.

So with that in mind, I’m fairly confident even a Flat Earther can operate Fifi more or less in a safe manner...

Flat Earth is a mental illness.

Study science. Stop the stupid.

this happens when you cancel flights from MCO when the hurricane is still over the Bahamas...$25 mil hit while already announcing your costs will be out of line even before the hurricane.

Teddy is not ready for the big corner office..

Pretty sure that MCO Airport Authority closing the airport drove those cancellations right? Nonetheless it does seem that our CEO is a little in over his head.

I’m not overly enamored with Christie, but let’s be real. Every airline that runs a bunch of business through FLL and MCO go kicked in the teeth by Dorian.

Yes. And AA, SWA and JBLU didn’t cancel any flights at that point. They waited.

Frontier Spirit and Allegiant canceled as soon as the notice came out and the storm was still a ways off. You know, still headed for Alabama at that point 😂

But I agree, it seemed he was so scared of having the system collapse, so he canceled early. If I had to guess, ol Bob Fornaro would have not canceled so early as being around for a while, has a little more hair on the grapes to not cancel so quick. Storms change, after all, Alabama was spared from destruction
