(5) Min time behind door (6:00 makes these doable with an afternoon nap)
(6) PAY -
Daily credit applied calendar day, or
ALV + if line of CDO's = < ALV

If we are going to recover express type flying, this is the type flying a lot of them do.

Just some ideas.
It's been awhile, but I don't recall dal ever doing the regional style illegals. About as close as I ever flew were trans cons with about 8-9 hrs behind the door and then fly back.
