This got me thinking… Spirit has the X and Y list, essentially allowing their pilots to pick up broken trips in a “spirit city”. Allows commuters to pick up some open time from where they live and provided a bit of flexibility for scheduling to cover a last minute snafu. Is there a reason we don’t have a similar provision here and all premium trips seem to need to start in a base? Spirit pilots found value in it and it was a hugely popular contractual provision among commuters and in base pilots alike.
