I know we have a min day. I said I don’t want a “true” min day. The current 2:30 only really comes into play if you are on a hard time trip. I consider a true min day to be a large number, like 5-6 hours. The 2:30 was implemented to discourage the company from jamming tons of block on flying days on trips that had a 30 hour layover. With an actual min day of 5-6 hours you can kiss 30 hour layovers and one-and-done first/last days goodbye. Lots of midday DHs instead and no easy starts or finishes.
