Seems strange there would be so much credit when we have lots of 737 bases - I can't see why there would be much deadheading or short days that generate lots of credit.
Apparently scheduling looks at a layover as "credit." They hate credit. That is why the 320 was opened in ATL. Many of the islands turns that the DTW 320 was doing had an overnight in ATL because of duty day. They want to do away with that.
Turn that same metric in DTW on the 737. There are a lot of layovers in DTW on the 737. You will see this opening up in DTW in the not too distant future.
