todays load factor 92%
 
Don't you hate it when PAX standing in line at the airport call you to complain about the long lines? I feel bad for them, but what are you to do when it's one of the busiest travel days of the year.. sigh.
 
I flew today out of PHL and connected in CLT.
PHL was BUSY this morning at 6:45am with traffic backed up to the entrance road Arrivals/Departures split. Took about 10 minutes to make it from there to the B concourse drop-off lane. Check-in took no time because the 4 people in front of me in the First line were told by the agent they were in the wrong place if they were flying coach and were sent on their way. Security at B concourse was just starting to back up out of the stanchions, but there was a Preferred line open.

Full 767 to Charlotte (the flight that NEVER runs on time because they don't tow the plane to the gate until departure time... probably couldn't find a working tug) and CLT was crowded, though nearly every gate had "First Class Avail" listed on the gate board, even a 757 bound for Orlando.

All of my flights this Thanksgiving were full in coach, but less than 50% full in First.

Thanks to all the US Airways employees who worked their holiday so that I could see my family.
 
Fairly decent day today. Some ATC delays from S to N thru the VA/NC border area (flights passing thru from SE to NE), but nothing at any particular city ie PHL wasnt in FLOW, but the region was. Looks like most conx from my city made it ok (although some running might have been involved.) Checked baggage before I left tonight at 1130 and they had about 8 claims open as well. Not too bad. Tomorrow is busy as well and hopefully all will run smoothly. I am off (its been a busy week) and plan on putting up Xmas lights (after I sleep in) so no phone calls please!!! 🙄 😉
