I think that route map is going out the window when MCO opens. Obviously the changes have significant competitive impact, so they won't be released until the company publishes their new schedules (humm - wonder why we can only book out through October on the website?), but the Eastern Seaboard has a ton of O&D traffic which may fill 230 seat 321s.
Day turns and two days suck for commuters, but if you live in base they're golden. Can't wait to hear the top 10 guys on the list go off on the union site about how a more Jr pilot can hold MCO lines which have 18 days off, weekends and holidays off but they are flying on
a Saturday in July.
Just like every other airline, trips will have different characteristics depending on the Domicile / equipment. If you read the memo (PLEASE DON'T POST IT ON APC!) with some imagination and an eye to where the money is, I think the allocation of ASMs becomes clearer. Anybody up to my $.04 bet yet :-) ?
