Hey wanna see a joke!

Does that PIT line include the 4 hour reserve? If so pack your bags for a night in Manassas to sit with your broken plane ;D

isnt that called 'the pit sit"?

Thats pretty rough, but with any kind of seniority you can bid out of that place pretty quickly. Speaking of lines...Kinda curious about what is going on at HYA considering ALL the bid packages are prepared, EXCEPT HYA. I guess we will be "happily" ferrying airplanes and doing damage control to the schedule all summer...

When I was a scheduler and the CHO crews where based at HEF, we would have 2 crews arrive in the morning, the CHO crew would arrive earlier than the PIT crew because it takes longer to repo down there. It was pretty much a guarantee that one of the two aircraft would be down, so the CHO crew would always get the first pick. So we came up with the saying "The CHO will go, but the PIT will sit."

Whichever crew gets the IAD-HPN round trips normally has a 4 hour sit in IAD which is used to repo planes to HEF when needed, sucks if you actually do sit in IAD.

Colgan knew and still knows the dollaz are in CHO'ville, where the loads are always near full and they can control the price/schedule on the LGA stuff. The IAD-PIT run (especially in the a.m.) is a joke- never more than a few pax. And anyone ever based in HEF knows how often the morning planes leave on-time (i.e. get to know the couch).
