This number can grow to 75% during summer and shrink to 65% or even less at FL bases during slow months. System wide the company has been leaning more towards 4-day trips (post covid). Quality of lines and trips depends on your seniority and obviously on your definition of quality (credit, legs per day, red eyes, etc). In my personal opinion LAS has the worst trips due to the relative large amount of redeyes. The rest of the bases seem to cover a good portion of our whole domestic network one way or another.
Just wondering how this had changed given the upcoming reduction of pilots at ORD?
Is it still heavily 4 day trips out of there? Also what are the usual trip locations out of there? Just wondering if ATL or FLL go to better locations. I searched around looking for answers on this but did not see anything so apologize in advance if I missed it somewhere.
