A quick note about start times...while we don't have a formal start time (we only have a published arrival window), we'll be ramping up the staffing starting at 11am PST, 2 hours before the arrival window starts. The longest published leg is SEA-SLC at ~550nm, so that should be plenty of time.
Yes, Keith. I'm sure that's why Peter gave me 24R
The controllers were amazing. I got a bit anxious when I hadn't been handed off to approach, with about two minutes to go to an IAF, Fairfield, with still no idea what I was going to be given, but that made it more exciting. Listening to so many holds (published and unpublished) being dished out for the tubeliners was a very unusual thing on PE. Also, many were receiving the STAR to use quite late in the day! You really have to know how to work your FMC! Well, they had to get maybe 60+ (I did see 77 connected at one time, although a few weren't going to Salt Lake City - and I only glanced at connections a couple of times, so I could be well out!) all trying to come in within the 30 minutes allotted time frame! Even Atlanta only manages 100 or so takeoffs and landings per hour!
Now looking forward to the ZLA takeover. I'd better start practicing going to LAX
