Ha! I remember meeting you at Airbus MIA, as a Feb ‘12 hire at VX when we were both at the facility for training. Sheesh how time flies! I can’t believe it’s been that long.

The Transportation Department has tentatively awarded room for five new daily long-haul flights at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport – including one from San Diego.
The department approved five of the nation’s biggest airlines while rejecting proposals from low-fare carriers.

Oh I read it. Dumb government doesn’t know Frontier operates up to 3x daily DEN-DCA?
“The department ruled that Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines weren’t eligible because Congress limited the contest to carriers that already operate flights at Reagan National.”

Sad we have people hoping for a SAN base.
You are LA, have you seen the 0030L short call RAP? Ask yourself, if the earliest check in at LAX is 5am and short call is a 2:30 callout, shouldn’t the earliest RAP be a 230L RAP?
Yes, it should be. And before, that was the earliest RAP.
Why the change?
Simple.
0045L callout means a 315L show at LAX. And now the 2 hr limo ride to SAN, voila, you’re in SAN ready to cover any morning Hawaii or transcon flight (JFK, IAD, MCO, FLL, DCA, etc).
The 0045 RAP is just proof we won’t get a SAN base. It’s far cheaper to run one base in LA and then limo down LA reserves to SAN for coverage.

Yeah I am in the camp of it never happening as well. Is what it is

SAN base any day now I’m sure (insert gif of Lucy holding a football).
It seemed like there was a lot of SAN layovers in the November ANC pairings.

Be careful with those long SAN layovers, I learned the hard way that you become a de facto SAN reserve. At least the time and a half took some of the sting out of it.

A significant number of SFO lines start and/or end with SAN dead heads as well

Long, SAN, layover?? We only get the leftover scraps.

I haven't been in quite a while, but I much prefer the shortish layover, given the short stay crew hotel, convenience, and that it is really a nice upscale quiet place. Probably one of my top 5 hotels in the system actually.

It was waiting for me when I checked in for my 1 leg down from SFO. Of course I clicked through it only looking at the layovers and it took me until about halfway down to realize that my 19 hours had turned into a 12 hour day sleep.

Down here I’m noticing that as we go later in the fall the trips are tending less productive. Great if you like 19-20 hour layovers to get out and about, but it does start to eat into days off after a while.

The hotel we’ve been using since the Hilton strike is nice and has beach cruiser bicycles available but there’s construction across the street and I gotta believe that’s causing fatigue calls when they use it for a day sleep.
