Scott Kirby's CLT Crew News Update - July 29

[Dont call me Shirley]

7 flights per hour in each direction from 0530 till 2230 is about 112 flts each way per day. Today UA offers a grand total of 19 flts per day. that is about a 90% drop?

The seven flights an hour weren't all day, just the am and pm rush. something like 0700-0830 and 1700-1800. The did go on the hour and half thru most of the day

I remember taking them. On one, I was in FC and asked for another vodka & tonic and the flight attendant said, Sir, the landing gear is down. I was just a young kid out of college and said nothing, but the older guy next to me said to the flight attendant, well we haven't landed yet, now go get him another drink--and, she did.

That was in the last half of the 90's, with the economic boom in the bay. Heady days.

The only flights I got to sit in the back were when I bought a ticket and on the 0530 departure, the FA giving me a wonderful mug of ?alleged? Starbucks coffee, in coach.

The rest of the time, I was trying to get on from 1330 to 1530, Tuesday and Thursday, every other week, for months at a time. I got pretty adept at following the revenue standbys from gate to gate.

The L10 was probably mothballed before she was born...
