179 empty seats and the General still thinks we need larger aircraft on these routes? Amazing! If this keeps up, unlimited jumpseats will be the least of our problems.Capn Mike said:Last flight out of LGA to ATL tonight on a 767 with 179 empty seats and only one of the offline jumpseaters taken.

If its that empty everytime, then yes there is a problem. I fly LGA-ATL a lot, and that is very, very rare. But I suppose RJs never have the occasional flight that is mostly empty.InclusiveScope said:179 empty seats and the General still thinks we need larger aircraft on these routes? Amazing!

The next 10 767 flights between ATL and LGA have an average of 81 empty seats. The 3 highest numbers of empty seats for 767 flights in the next two days are 148, 115, and 97. Combine this with the low fares that are being to charged to fill these seats and you might see the problem. I now return you to your regular programing....resume putting your head in the sand.michael707767 said:If its that empty everytime, then yes there is a problem.

I was just going to ask the same question, but I see you beat me to it. I agree, it makes no sense. I have seen it a lot on the ATL-DFW flight, where you see about 5 Delta guys go try to check in for the jumpseat, just to be told that "the guy over there" got it checked in first. And yes, I did make the flight using a S3, so there were obviously seats available in the back.P38JLightning said:Why is it Delta guys automaticaly sign up for the jumpseat even when there are dozens (or in some cases hundreds) of open seats in the back? No big deal for Comair or ASA pilots, since we have the pass card, but don't you realize that totaly screws lots of offline jumpseaters, many of which offer Delta pilots their unlimited jumpseats?
