They tried it back in the mid part of last decade and it did not work.
I get that, but by looking at the 22d2 reports from 11 to 12 should give you an idea where the bid is going to go. As an example, the May 11 22d2 showed 225 ca spots on the 744 and the aug 11 bid had 246 bodies. If the block hours were reduced to only need 180 Ca it would make no sense that they carry 245 bodies when they were able to get away with carry 10 over min the year before. Or am I missing something.
