I think I remember that Easter. I was working at WNY and everything we sent out came back with the same passengers.
WNY was open but nothing else in the South East of the country was. We were copping everything on diversion. Even an Air SA F27. Those passengers did look confused disembarking.
Longest day I have ever put in at 37.5 hours straight, 8 hour break then back for 15 hours which included 80km drives each way to and from DPO. After the 15 hour day I was seeing steam trains where there was no line, horse driven carts attempting to cross the highway and all sorts of weird stuff.
Easter was a guaranteed crack up time for the weather and the 5 MEL base F27s were scheduled until 2 in the morning on full utilisation.
One seagull fart and it all fell to bits.
Best all
