Since I'll make Diamond shortly I'm thinking of using a regional upgrade on this if I fall further down the list tonight but I'd hate to burn it if I'm going to clear on my own.
I'd like some feedback on those who are PM or DM and how often at <12 hours to takeoff are others checking in or SDC onto the flight to bump down priority list.
Thanks,
IME, you'll need a regional to clear. JFK-SAN on a Thursday... Tough. Lots if DMs won't check in until they get to airport or even while on there way.
See how you look at T-2 hours & go from there.
