Whose side are some of you on anyway? Go work in mgmt if you want to justify the high leg/duty day, low layover trips.
When the vast majority of your departures out of ATL are stage lengths less then 1.5 hours, the vast majority of the legs will be those flights. And what's frustrating is because there are so many of these short legs, we no longer enjoy the lack of variety of leg lengths so that the program can tack on a BHM turn after a leg from LAS or SLC.
And I would argue 4 legs to and from BNA is less fatiguing than a 2 leg, 8+ hour day
