Pre-bid targets DFW/LGA


**These targets compare 3 months, the actual result for July and June varied from the target

Pairings info DFW

DFW 175 is 97% 4 day trips for August. About 25% of those 4 days are worth less than 16 hours. There are two 4 days that are only worth 10 hours. The 30+ overnights continue to cause problems for variety. On the other hand, there are a few 4 days that are worth more than 20 hours. The MSY overnight is new in August, although it is not a long layover.

DFW Line distribution:

  • RBL: 18
  • CDO: 10
  • RWO: 4
  • PT: 10

DFW Pairing distribution:

  • Total pairings: There is a total of 867 pairings** in the month (**pairings available, some pairings run more than one time). The pairing distribution throughout the month is 25 1day trips, 56 2day trips, 40 3day trips, and 746 4day trips.
  • DFW E7M (175):  1day trips, 4 2day trips, 11 3day trips, and 427 4days. There is a daily block average of 4:39.  
  • DFW ERJ (140/145): 25 1day trips, 52 2day trips, 29 3day trips, and 319 4days. There is a daily block average of 4:30. 

Pairings info LGA/JFK

 

As usual LGA variety, distribution, and credit value remain almost the same, which is good, because there is good daily credit per pairing and good variety.

 

LGA/JFK Line distribution:

  • RBL: 6
  • CDO: 0
  • RWO: 2
  • PT: 0

LGA/JFK Pairing distribution: 

  • ERJ (140/145): The average daily credit is 5:02. There is a total of 486 pairings in the month (**pairings available, some pairings run more than one time). The pairing distribution throughout the month is 27 1day trips, 54 2day trips, 79 3day trips, and 326 4day trips.

  • JFK: 3 1days, 26 2days, 12 3days, and 138 4days. 

Pre-bid targets ORD/MIA 


**These targets compare 3 months, the actual result for July and June varied from the target

Pairings info ORD

ORD 175 pairings in BOI will continue to be 24+ until Aug 21st. The high amount of 24+ layovers affect the variety and the overall solution. There is a minimal increase on the daily average for all pairings on all aircrafts. ORD CRJ has enough 3 day trips that some FAs should be able to build all 3 day blocks.

ORD Line distribution:

  • RBL: 15
  • CDO: 0
  • RWO: 4
  • PT: 10
 

ORD Pairing distribution:

  • Total pairings: There is a total of 943 pairings in the month (**pairings available, some pairings run more than one time). The pairing distribution throughout the month is 2 1day trips, 8 2day trips, 113 3day trips, and 820 4day trips.
  • ORD CRJ: 2 1day, 0 2day, 81 3days, and 150 4days. There is daily block average of 5:00.
  • ORD E7M (175): 0 1day trips, 8 2day, 32 3day trips, and 221 4day trips. There is a daily block average of 4:39.
  • ORD ERJ (140/145): 449 4day trips. There is a daily block average of 4:30.  

Pairings info MIA

MIA average daily, pairing distribution, and overall solution is about the same. There is an increase in the total of FAs, however, the target of line holders remains the same. The target for RSV has been increased.

MIA Line distribution:

  • RBL: 6
  • CDO: 0
  • RWO: 1
  • PT: 5

MIA Pairing distribution: 

  • ERJ (140/145): The average daily credit is 4:39. There is a total of 253 pairings in the month (**pairings available, some pairings run more than one time). The pairing distribution throughout the month is 16 1day trips, 19 2day trips, 25 3day trips, and 193 4day trips.
