Which is not difficult if you're above 80% seniority, which isn't difficult to obtain in NYC. The Optimize your Schedule document basically gives everyone the blueprint on how to clear your schedule

This is where "different strokes for different folks", "one man's trash is another's man's treasure" comes into play. Even if I couldn't drop all my trips I'd gladly commute for 24 hrs in AUA vs drive to work for 12 hrs in GPT/JAN etc plus the 4 leg day galore that's ATL flying.
With that said I'll GLADLY fly one leg to GPT layover and fly/DH back
