Narrative:

There was a schedule change on jun/sat/03, which added 90+ more flight to the xy side. FD24 has yvr to all 3 hubs at dfw, ord and stl. FD24 still has the majority of the transcons including 15 domestic and foreign airports. Now lets add en route alternated for the S80's and the en route WX, especially across the gulf routes. On jun/fri/03, there are 2 military charters and 2 positioning flts for those charter aircraft. There was no aircraft analysis for the B767 for vcv. The original B767 planned on this charter had 33 fewer seats than the charter called for. The bos-sjc flight requested a phone patch with maintenance technician about a pressurization problem. Mia had a fuel pipeline rupture, which resulted in early release request for the mia-sfo flight. There are 22 releases on FD24 between XA00-SC00. At approximately XB00 local, those releases start calculating, so they bounce for overwts and en route alternates. Also at XB00, the eastbound transcons are nearing their destinations and it is time to advise them what to expect. The last 4 days the thunderstorms have blossomed mostly over the southeastern states and florida, so it has been impossible to keep up with the desk. Also, thunderstorms have popped up over the 4 corner states.
