ccbegay · 07-21-2008, 11:54 AM

Take the earliest flights possible I have always found that to be useful because you always get some people who oversleep! Also bring a book or a couple of them in case you get stuck!

Yup, list on the earliest flights of the day. If you don't make it on, typically the csa will list you on the next available option. But if they aren't helpful, have your options list handy and get on the horn to list again.

Prepare for the worst. That way you can't be disappointed. And when it all works smoothly, you feel fabulous!!

Amen on the early flight suggestion.

Go on passrider or nonrev website and develope a PLAN B (maybe a PLAN C too if you are a worrier like I am). Also be sure to take all phone numbers and employee number and hire date with you in case you have to resort to a PLAN B or PLAN C.

Have fun. Best of luck.

Spotty4 you post wasn't there when I did mine. Apparently brilliant minds think alike. But it appears one of us has faster fingers!

Good luck Cassie! I'll be non-revving to PHX in a few days and I'm starting with the 6:45 am flight! The rest are getting filled.

definitely take the earliest flights... i did that going from ORL-SLC-PHX because loads actually looked really good... by the time i got to SLC, things changed from good to WORST! so keep in mind that those loads can change with no warning whatsoever....

If you get stuck in phx, let me know... unfortunately, i can't have you stay at our house cuz i'm down with a really bad bug (everytime i visit my neice/nephew, i come home sick

) but i can tell you what airport hotels are good to go to.

hopefully everything will go just fine!

Amanda · 07-21-2008, 06:12 PM

Cassie- when are you going? I'm hoping to get in to PHX Thursday 7/24 at 10am. I have a car and a place to stay if you need it!
