    I've heard both. Usually "overnights" at Skyway because we primarily did "day trips" (and no, nothing to do with dropping tabs of LSD and staring at the clouds) and usually "layovers" at Southernjets, at least in my circles.

    Perhaps just as important, is the term a noun or a verb?


    Our (overnight/layover) is in Denver?

    or

    We (overnight/layover) in Denver?

    You take life too seriously.... I mean... do I really have to include the sarcasm tag when it's dripping with it??? I hope you noticed that my sentence about "commuter pilots" was word for word the same as his but with what I find "bothersome".

    Seriously, re-read it and tell me, while it may not be funny, that you really really think I was being serious!?!?

    6 years at Eagle & 12 months at AA, we all called them "overnights".

    TWA & DL both used term "overnight" too.

    Just like the "turn" vs. "out-n-back" vs. "one-day" debate...

    Day trips :)




    Or, "high-speed", "CDO" or "Standups".

    It all means the same thing. :)
