The true daytime flying is going to be the short hop LGB stuff, and you’ll be flying 3-4/leg days, besides a few daytime departures from LAX/SFO and a few others, everything else will be flown in the middle of the night.
Before the CBA, more than 50% of the pairings had at least one leg touching the redeye period, and I doubt that has changed much.
Ok so 50%. Still not 80%. Most cities have a red eye to BOS and a red eye to JFK. Most of those cities also have at least one day time departure going east as well. Some have multiple day time departures east like SFO and LAX.
