Youve made the redeye harder and the recovery time more difficult. Redeye override I get behind.
If we go to calendar day I can see Denver looking like a fedex ramp at 1AM. Every redeye flight that wasn’t direct from the west coast already just gets routed into Denver for that 1AM push.
To be clear I’m not against calendar day, I can just see ways around it so that its intended effectiveness is reduced and the law of unintended consequences has alarm bells ringing.
