So I can see that fatigue, or just rolling delays in the operation, are going to tear those 4/5 day trips apart. Like I said, it will be interesting to see how this plan holds up in the summer months (I don't think it will stand that test).
I think they have the right idea...but hate spending the money to actually properly implement. They'll end up spending way more in the end but at least they didn't give the pilots nice schedules up front .
