Non-Rev question PHL-MCI USairways express

[acbarney]

Do they block seats on the CRJ PHL-MCI, if so, how many?

 

[rjacobs]

block revenue to take non rev or jumpseat? if thats what you mean, that may be one of the funniest things ive heard in a while.

In my experience, if there isn't an alternate required (or if its SLN) the RJ can usually take 50 pax and an ACM. I dunno what "typical" loads are, but once again IME it runs 40+ pax.

Thanks!

No problem!

I didn't do that route in the middle of this winter's huge jet cores, but I would imagine they were weight restricted westbound with as much fuel as they needed...

Did that trip a few times, took 50 each time, Don't recall if needed an ALT or not, was a tight fit but it worked...

Thanks for calling me a dumb ass, really appreciate that. Your title was about non-reving and you asked if they blocked seats. My logical response came from thinking you were asking about blocking seats for non rev's. There have been stupider questions asked on here.

I've worked this route many times and yes, our loads seem to be 40+. Two weeks ago, we did have 50 pax and 1 Jumpseater up front (poor guy). If we have weather and winds and needed to carry extra fuel, a full boat may not be possible.

I wish mainline flew this route!
