They're very high credit compared to say, Cincinnati.
I'm based in CMH and the Inefficiency of the trips there Help reserve guys.... IE. A 4 day trip. First day will be CMH-FLL Turn CMH-CVG, CVG to ??? EVV.... Ends up with like 8hrs of Credit. Next day... you'll do a EVV-CVG CVG to SBN. only about 2hrs of flying but reserve says 4hrs of Credit. 3rd day maybe SBN-CVG CVG-TRI another 2hr day but 4hr of Credit. 4th Day TRI-CVG CVG-CMH CMH-MCO Turn and them I'm done, another 7-7:30 day. I've only Blocked 18hrs of Flying but I got about 24hrs of Credit. That's what make Inefficient lines pretty good for reserve guys.
