It would be sweet if they'd actually publish what those "awful" bid packets would look like, for us all to see and judge for ourselves. This was the excuse they gave for leaving the 717 out of 1-day trip mix protections. However, the few times they've put up a fair amount of day trips, the trips were great, the rest of the bid packet was no different than normal. The trips were so terrible that even at sub-20% in seat, I couldn't even sniff them.
