I agree. I felt the same way about adding the 7th short call. ALPA's response was that we were actually going to be doing less short call on the wide-bodies because the periods will be 14 hours instead of 24. On the domestic side, the period are going from 12 hours to 12 hours. Again, the domestic side is getting a huge concession due to the new FAR's and ALPA's inability to say no. Imagine that.
