I have cmd-shift-v mapped to my clipboard manager which also pastes as plain text, but then the something (forum software?) converts them to lower case when I save (see above)

The forum won't let you post more than like 50% uppercase, or something like that. So if you literally just reply the loads, it does that. The javascript is enough to trick it. So is a bit of text before or after.

AC857

Can someone help me check R space on 857 this Monday? Hoping to do a SDC and keep my Eupgrade (from Latitude B/50K).

Please post the route of the flight in question and confirm the date, which I assume is August 16.

That flight is waaaaaay over in Y.

That's going to be a much bigger issue than R space if there aren't a bunch of last minute cancellations.

I've just updated the wiki to get rid of the outdated BCD stuff.

I've also posted a short note about what to provide if making a request.

I want to make clear that I say the following as one of the people with an EF subscription who regularly answers these requests, and not as a moderator.

My appetite for answering further requests that don't contain the route is nil. EF does not do searches by flight number, it's by route. I've pasted a screenshot of the mobile search screen below.

If you're asking for fellow FTers to take a few minutes of their day to read your request, fire up EF, look up your flight, and post a response, please don't also expect us to either know what route is represented by your flight number or to look it up. It's not hard to find it (although with recent flight re-numbering and COVID-driven suspensions and other weirdness, sometimes it takes a bit of digging), but you already know what route you're flying, and it's far less work for you to just say it's YYC-YVR or ATH-YYZ or whatever than for anyone else to look it up.

So please just have the courtesy to say what the bloody route is when you post your request

crazy how full these flights have been. Guess I’ll be sticking with my YUL layover.

thanks Bohemian. And sorry for missing route number, didn’t know this thread existed- original post was in Eupgrade thread.

It still doesn't hurt to ask. Things can change between now and then.
