More anecdotes…WB is infinitely more commutable than NB, and with 18 hr long call I suspect NYC becomes an option for people hadn’t entertained it under the old rules. I will be left speechless if NYC330 keeps going to new hires in the year following the next AE. Folks are figuring out that all the NB redeyes to NB deadheads with short layovers take a toll on the body, so they might as well have a meal, a nap and 24 hours to netflix and chill every other leg to offset circadian disruption.
