The problem I have with the ADG is that the 30hr layover on the trip still has no value if you average over 5:15 on the other days. It just takes another day away from home to earn it. We need some type of calander day minimum to make that time have a value.
The LAX 73N Category has a trip that signs in day 1 at 22:40 flies 1 red-eye leg, lays over 23:25, returns on the morning of day 3 at 11:00.
This trip operates daily. It used to be in open time almost every day - I am curious to see what happens in November.
Like Buzz said - the 5:15 is a huge improvement for us LAX guys.
