Clutch, I do think we have quite a few improvements on this contract. As far as more international multi leg days.... these will probably increase as the international system grows. Not because the CO. tweeked the optimizer but because they now have more options to fly you after you get legal crew rest. Unlike the days of ANC-NRT (25 hr LO) NRT-HKG (25 hr LO) then about the only flight they had was HKG-ANC either the 76 flt or the 12 flt.
When I went to the 11 we had 20 of them. Now we have about 50. intl is now just becoming a big domestic system form... Good for all of us! (The more flying not the intl hub turns!)
