We have large enough fleets to get economies of scale, but Due to several factors, DAL chooses not to schedule us efficiently because it costs them nothing to use us inefficiently. If we had a 6 hour daily guarantee, that would be us forcing the company to schedule efficiently. As it is today, they only schedule us efficiently if it works for them.

Can you imagine keeping the same plane all day, same flt attendants all day, no airport sitarounds, and getting 6 plus hours every day of a trip minimum? DAL can do that today, they simply choose not to.
