I agree with this statement. It would’ve made more sense for him to say “too many bases, and we need more multi day trips.”

unless you’re planning on getting more real estate at the hubs to park planes overnight, or you plan on dramatically increasing redeye flights, I’d be interested to see how you get those two thinks to coincide

he might be planning on increasing utilization somehow. But, he somehow has to determine which routes will be profitable. And that’s a story as old as time with this company.
