…also the most unacknowledged . As a current local, (I think) I’d be happy to have minimum day. I don’t mind 0500 sign-ins or 2300 releases. I imagine those stink for commuters.

Carmen already leaves commuters underwhelmed. If anyone thinks she’ll start or finish many trips with block under the (new) guarantee, you’re smoking something. The one hope for commutable back end trips might be red eye finishes…but hitting min day efficiently on the day before go-home day could make for an ugly pre-redeye FDP.

Unless you’re looking at the results that the optimizer would spit out under any new rigs (as Crewdog mentioned), I’m not sure people really know what they’re advocating for or against. I think it’s wise to fear the unintended consequences.
