Makes sense. We have them on the 737 also, and I guess the more I think about it the more I see the value in it.

But I remain a little skeptical of possibly seeing a lot of the 30 hour layovers going away (think CDO rumor) and the credit time in trips going way down so that the value of the 5:15 gets diluted via mostly hard time trips. Thus I really would have liked to see the 5:15 bumped up to 5:30 but maybe that is not in the cards.

It seems the company stays a few moves ahead of us in these type of deals.
