Question Boarding Pass Code "EQP 02" Under the Seat Assignment Section?

I did a search and couldn't find this code listed on the forum ...

Just did OLCI for my flight TPA-ATL-TLH, and on the TPA-ATL BP, there is an odd code:

"EQP 02" -- Anyone know what this means?

It's directly under that little square with the Seat Assignment and "PREM" notation, directly across from the "Destination" Line...

Thanks!

Is that seriously what that means? All the flight info still states "On Time"?

FWIW, I'd just drive that if there was a connection like yours.

No driving for me...

Alas, I'm not found of the TPA-TLH drive ... too long and boring at night!

I miss the days of the NWA Saab 340 that I used to be able to take when going on Business ...

Still no clue what that code means ...

This shows up when there has been a change in aircraft type (equipment swap). EQP01 for the first change, EQP02 for the second, etc.

Thanks so much for the info -- I just found that answer as you were replying... stupid me, searched the forum as it was printed on the BP, "EQP 02" -- once I searched "EQP02" without a space, the answer was revealed

Thanks so much!

This can be important if the number of the seats on the place change, and even more important if the number of seats on the replacement plane is less than on the original one .... and even more important if the original was over sold and the GA doesn't realize it.

(this actually happened on a PHL-DTW flight a few weeks ago and the end result was a delay and misconnects)

Not necessarily aircraft type but just a ship change in general. Can also occur at gate.

I'm sorry to single this comment out, and thank you for helping the OP so promptly, but this brought up an internet pet peeve of mine, so please excuse the following rant.

If you don't know the answer to a question, either don't reply or admit your uncertainty. Too often on FT and other help boards, posters will chime in with an answer that turns out to be wrong, and this is an example of an answer that could have screwed over the OP if he had waited an extra two hours before going to the airport. There's enough knowledge on this board that we don't need to offer answers that are really guesses in the form of facts.

Thank you!

Joke or not, no need for the personal attack.

Anywhoo, look for more and more EQP notations coming this summer as the Mad Dog families are reconfig'd....

+1 Looks like the 2 hour was meant as a joke. However, it is hard sometimes for people to detect humor on these boards ... especially people who are less frequenty visitors. When I read the 2 hour, I assume the poster was serious, so I agree with SamOf

My panties are quite taut, thank you very much. Maybe in your future posts/blogs/etc., when making a joke that isn't obviously so, add a or a or a . For the benefit of those of us who haven't been business traveling for 8 years.

this is just curiosity at this point, but.....

checked in on an itin i got last-minute thru the irrops website.. it shows EQP02 on both boarding passes.. does that mean both flights have changed twice? or is one of the two enough to trigger the comment for my entire itinerary? (one of the flights looks like an equipment swap -- it's Y0, but the Y seatmap is 1/3 empty.....)
