Check out alllll the redeyes that used to report at 2230, which now report at 23:30 to avoid the extra day of pay. Not a single one of these existed before...

When folks say, "Delta won't take advantage of ALV+15, that's just for international...", look at this picture.
This is a PERFECT image of what Delta WILL do when our contract allows it-- take 100% full advantage of it.

Here's 18 trips in open time, all of them there because how incredibly heinous they pay, that are called "2 day trips" but are really 3 days, or are called "3 day" but are really 4 days, because you report the day prior. And with 50%ish commuters, that means a FULL day of efforts uncompensated really, because flying a redeye at 0030 means you DIDN'T do whatever you wanted the day prior to this trip. Of course all the redeyes in my category have been rebuilt to depart just late enough to not pay for each day....
