I've had a look at the preliminary lines for the ORD 145 and things are looking much better.
Average credit looks to be back above 80 hours, from December's average of 72. That's a 10% increase in a month where typically block hours go down.
Average days off also increased from 12.4 in December to 13.1 in January.
All these increases took place in a base where flying was reduced by 29 lines. I'm guessing the improvements in the DFW lines are even better.
I realize these numbers might not blow anyone away, but I think it's more evidence we are seeing a very dramatic shift from how we are valued by AAG. Hopefully this is just the beginning and the awful schedules are a thing if the past.

Are you saying there are 29 less lines at ORD? Is that all lines or just 145 lines? I know the CRJ is going away, but I thought the 145 was growing at ORD.
