That makes sense. I was thinking one thing about open time, and how much everyone is saying that they will pick up. I'll have to look closer, but I think that our new cap and the way that it is constructed (pay period vs. bid period) will probably dampen some people's expectations.
I had hear that with the cross domicile reserve stuff, there would be more opportunities to have to fly on the 757 and that would make it way less attractive. On the Z at least, I don't think we have many (any?) senior folks that bid reserve in the left seat.
