And... why isnt that person just buying lottery tickets?
Initials will be fine.
Let's not forget that they didn't take into consideration that ASA did naps to most of these cities which resulted more often in on time departures in the morning even if the flight was late the night before. Delta is taking "crew rest" delays in the morning because they don't do naps/CDOs. Delta management and DALPA are now floating the idea of doing naps/CDOs, but sounds like most of their pilots aren't going for it.
