Absolutely.
It is a huge, huge improvement for QOL in LAX on the 73N- but we pretty much had the worse bid package in the system so pretty much anything was going to help us.
A couple of years ago I analyzed our bid package. 1/3 of our bid package were 4 day red-eyes that paid between 17 and 20 hours. Granted that was the worse month that I had seen, but you get the point. The guys near the bottom that were working 16 days for between 68-72 hours now will get at least 84 for the same flying!
