I'm wondering why PBS let all those holiday trips (about 22 trips) drop into open time in the first place, when they obviously didn't have adequate reserve coverage numbers for Tday.
The GSs are flowing just like how the beer flows like wine in Aspen.
Same with ATL88B where the trips had been in the system all month. Most of them started on Monday and Tuesday and flew to Thanksgiving day. So they didn't have the coverage and split about 12 or so trips up and made a bunch of Wednesday-Thursday two days.
I think 9 or so 2-day GSs went out to cover so far. That'll pay for 9 Christmasfestoons this year. So much so my wife wants me to bid a line next year.
I too wonder how this was missed. Tons of coverage, but only 1/5th of it was available to fly over Wednesday night. I'm fine with it being built as it was and would prefer to not have a fix.
