@jray0323@_RebsOnTop@RebsToday Knoxville is a major airport. Tupelo doesn’t have commercial flights like every other team has access to. The closest JetBlue airport for Ole Miss is Nashville. And just like airplane crews, bus drivers have a 10 hour limit.
@heyitkb Plus these idiot people don’t realize that just like airline crews having a duty time limit, bus drivers also have a time limit. Pilots are limited 9-14 hours while bus drivers are only limited 10 hours.
@DarrellLucus@OleMissFB@OU_Football And bus drivers have a duty time limit just like pilots. Only 10 hours total for bus drivers. The 7 hours plus fuel stops, traffic, contruction and other logistics, the drivers could timeout before getting to Norman
@ReIeasTheKraken@OleMissStan Bus to Norman is 8 hours not including stopping and traffic. Would be a 10 hour drive. Plus they would have to get meals for all players and staffing. A lot more logistics than one would think. And just like pilots, bus drivers have time limits too. Max of 10 hours driving.
@ReIeasTheKraken@OleMissStan Look at the other teams airport they fly out of compared to the airport that ole Miss flys out of. Tupelo does not have commercial flights. It’s a very small regional airport. Ole Miss charters with JetBlue. Nearest airport that has JetBlue gates is Nashville.
@Jeff_S_Jones@OleMissStan@willthewxman@GregSankey@SEC@OleMiss Try sleeping on a bus for 10 hours. Also they probably don’t have bus drivers that could’ve made the drive. Also look at their airport. They don’t have commercial flights there. And also the closest airport where they have an airline aircraft charter is in Nashville.
@WilloRiley@OleMissStan@MichaelWBratton I’m not an Ole Miss fan. And I’m also not an OU fan. However, I have worked in the airline industry for 10 years and have delt with airplane charters with delta.
@WilloRiley@OleMissStan@MichaelWBratton Charter aircrafts have to be reserved usually within 30 days. Crews for Jet blue are not based close to Mississippi. And with ALOT of crews timing out, it’s causing a lot of problems.
@OU_Scorigami@OleMissFB People need to realize that the flight crew that was scheduled to fly the aircraft has timed out. They either had to fly in a new crew to take the aircraft out or they have to wait 8 hours before the original crew to take it out.
@RedDirtMediaCo The crew timed out buddy. They have to find a new crew to fly the plane out. Otherwise the crew has to wait 8 hours before they can fly. That’s per FAA crew rules. This is not an Ole Miss thing.
