Bidding the 717 might be a pretty good deal for those who want the summer off!

edit- and look at how much lower feb 2013 international flying is than feb 2012... yikes! That's not capacity restraint, that's complete shrinkage.

How is that? Its a 365 day bid, and they will convert some right before they arrived, and with enough time to train them up and OE em. The rest will be converted at a rate of aircraft arrivals. With a 365 they have the time needed to make sure no one is sitting at home collecting 80 hrs and doing nothing.
