Those financial taxes on the optimizer shape its solutions, which I’m actually fine with. And for those who don’t want the end-of-rotation penalty lap - you can now try to release yourself with a jetway trade. I’ve picked up a couple of those as a local in the time we have had the option.
A 3 hour sit pays 30 extra minutes. Combine that with 50% for a 3 hour block reroute and you're now paid an extra 2 hours for all that nonsense.
Ain't nobody picking up penalty laps on the JWT board in my category. Why would anyone come in and fly a turn for less than ADG?
