If I am doing the math it seems like for every three people whining about day turns there is one who loves them. Good for those people. It is a bright spot for the company. I hope you still feel that way if you get displaced... into EWR.
You might think your to senior but with the number of small bases we have and the way things are going. I think we may all be suprised at who goes where.
Just a guess....
But probably bc the majority of our trips fall between Thursday-Monday.
Thursday-Monday is probably when the supermajority of people are working, minus the more senior people. Therefore, there's more trips, and more trips not being covered, and the people who have day trips are already doing something better.
Also, historically anyways, if you pickup enough trips you start to run into time/duty issues.
Also, you have the premium lovers who sell their soul to FLICA to pickup one premium trip so they can drop two normal trips.
Also, it's a lot harder to drop/swap multi day trips, again historically. Easier to drop day turns.
Also, it's the weekend. People are more likely to NOT pickup a trip just because they finally have a weekend off, and they value it.
Also, are they readeyes? Or "Normal" day turns?
I would almost guarantee there's no abundance of day turns in open time on Tuesday or Wednesday. I haven't seen it anyways.
