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.
When we left chapter 11 it was 8 24 hour short calls a month for everyone. We will now have 6 or 7 shortcalls a month depending on the ALV lasting 12 hours. Post chapter eleven 192 hours a month possible on short call. On 1 jan next year 72 to 84 hours a month depending on ALV.
