Two AS 737's at FLL?
I'm on flight 35 right now FLL-SEA. I Fly this route often for work, and as many of you know it's a once daily that leaves SEA at 8:40am and returns the same day leaving FLL at 6:30pm.
I was surprised to look out the window and see another AS 737 at the gate next door. Anyone know what it was doing at FLL or if they're going to start more than once a day flight?

Heavy maintenance is performed in GSO and the planes are rotated through FLL and TPA to get to GSO. They used to be rotated through ATL, not sure if they still rotate them through there or not. SO, many times the plane you bring in to FLL or TPA will then fly to GSO and there will be another plane waiting their to take the return passengers back to SEA.

I think there is a Boeing 737 Maintenance facility in GSO or a certifield 737 facility . Same reason AS 737s cycle through OKC

I was in GSO back in November and saw two AS 737s leave within an hour of each other. It was strange seeing Chester in central North Carolina.

Maybe a SEA-GSO would be in order soon? 
Nice meeting you UAPrem, hope you made it safe back to Juneau.
