One would hope. How do they do long haul if they have to stop and let everybody off for a lunch break every four hours?

So they're going to totally abdicate Cali? Shrink to 1800 pilots? How's that going to align with their commuter-hating philosophy?
Although they could hypothetically close the bases and start/end every trip with DHD's from SEA. Which the CA would locals would simply not take. Big productivity hit. Maybe a LAS base would be better, less impact on FDP and less DHD pay.
