- As we do less and less intl on DL metal, mgt will hopefully gift us with some nonrev agreements (similar to the new Virgin Atlantic one) that will allow us to still travel internationally at reduced rates.
- Lots of people don't want to do those 18-hour leg, 9-day months anyhow
- Don't have to worry about currency conversion or power adapters
- More legs per day is more landing practice!
- Short domestic trips will allow commuters to practice their commute more often, so they'll get better at it.
