Seat Bingo!
NWA was horrible but Delta is now just as bad ... The numbers change often and always overnight ... I call this seat bingo .. I have seen 50 seats disappear with no cancelled flights or easy to explain reasons (of course that I know of ... im sure there is plenty that I dont) On the other hand, I have seen 10 seat appear out of nowhere. Thats why my motto is if you dont try, you dont fly!
If you dont turn left...turn around
If you dont try, you dont fly!
"NWA was horrible but Delta is now just as bad ... The numbers change often and always overnight "
Not true. They can change in an hour or midday--often it's from downsizing 64's to those damned 50 seaters. Revs have to go on some flight. Just think this way--how many MORE employees are combined to fly fewer flights than both airlines had? DL uses NW policy for extended family and same sex partners and live-ins on NRSA now--BIG increase.
I like your motto--makes sense to me! Seat counts don't always show the unassigned seats. Yep, nonrev is a crapshoot!
Ps--love the handle

That just happened to me coming out of LAS. I started at 12 on the list 3 hrs prior, and by departure I was 37. Fricking sucks.......
INDEEED! If you want to go, just show up!
BTW, One time I carried 30K Lbs of smelly fish for 8 hours, dropped the pallets and quick turned, ferried the airplane for an hour into a teeny little outstation and bulk loaded the whole belly......the smelly fish belly.......not many happy rampers that day!
