So you are admitting that RAH and others did that to XJT with our CAL flying?
Except our pilots are still compensated in the top 10% for the amount of seats we fly.

I'd gladly take the 5.5 hours of pay for ONLY 8-10 hours of duty and longer, more restful overntights. I don't know about you, but if I'm gonna sit, I'd rather sit in the hotel, NOT the airport/crewroom.
I'd take that.
