I dont know why this quoted Sailing, I think Satch is the one it should have quoted.
Yes it was me. If what you say is true, then by all means lets do this. Our schedulers use of resources is abysmal. It must be cheaper to have us sit on lounge chairs than in control seats. If we could make sit time as expensive or more so than fly time, I think that would stop. Would a minimum day of over 5 do it? 5x4 days = 20 hours should be an average trip. Would that work?
