There are limits to efficiencies I think. I’m not saying they can’t make it worse. But at least I would be paid for it being so. I agree that it’s maybe shouldn’t be a blanket min day. But min day with some guardrails yes
It's important to remember that, first, the min day was only 4:15 and that matters. And second, TSA only had a handful of over 2 hour segments. When your fleet has an equal mix of 1-2 hour segments and 4-6 hour segments, CARMIN has a lot more flexibility to squeeze out credit.
