But when the entire month of open time is the exact same crappy trip, they should build better trips. By definition those undesireable trips go from major hub to major hub (or at least major focus city) so if marketing wants to keep using those AC for those markets, they pairings they're built into need to improve, even if *gasp* that increases credit.
That’s exactly what we saw on the 330. I also saw it on the 7ER with the 2 day non commutable MEX trip. The bad stuff will sink to the bottom. I am hearing the 767-400 is going to become the go to trans con aircraft as more A330-900’s arrive. I learned long ago never bid a category based on trips because they will change.
