Thread: Non-rev problems leaving CAI on DL?

Since I've been watching some CAI/JFK flights recently, I can tell you it's very difficult for employees lately. I've seen one flight go out w/50 empty seats and sometimes 3. DL co-pilot told me one went out with nearly 100 empty seats, but I didn't see those numbers myself.
I'll keep checking, but I would have some zeds in hand for Amman (which is awesome!) or Dubai. We're planning for early Dec but most likely using high priority for inbound.
PS--several crew members have had tough cases of Mummy Tummy, so be extra cautious. Local med is Antinal but I haven't done the "drug research" yet.

You have weight restrictions CAI/JFK? What sort of plane are you flying... a flying boat?

FYI--a few nonrev employees are making the CAI/JFK
rarely buddy pax are
none from OAL
there are typically 20 inconvenienced pax on every recent flight
no empty seats tho

Never quite heard the expression "MUMMY TUMMY". Must be an "Airline" type of term but I get the hint.[/b]

I had not heard that either but I like it.
I&#39;ve known it as "Nefertiti&#39;s revenge"

I ate food from street vendors in Cairo and was ok.
Strong stomach or luck I guess..........

I was fine in Egypt until I got tempted by some roadside desserts/cake in Luxor. Big mistake! Thankfully I was prepared for this and had tablets so I was OK the next day

I haven&#39;t been to Cairo, but I did get "sick as a dog" after eating a hotdog from a cart in NYC (off Times Square).
Trust me, sick as a dog!
