That would just barely be industry standard. American gets 30 min above guarantee for every conversion to short call. United gets 1 hour above guarantee for every short call they're not used.

The company is out of control with their short call usage. It's now up to our negotiators to get us something that will deter the company from doing such things. Sure they won't WANT to give us that....see below.
