Statistics I saw had Delta at 3x-4x the number of 5-day trips than us IIRC for example.

But United doesn't even have NB 5-day trip so APA's reasoning is nullified.

Both the NC Chair and my base Vice Chair told me "you will work more days per month with this RIG..." So - proves to all they don't know what they're talking about and just give false assumptions to avoid the subject.

5x day trips at DL are a NWA holdover

OK I have to apologize. United has a screener anyone can view. I randomly chose domiciles and equipment. Yes our trips absolutely blow compared to them.

Does UA not do short block flights or something? I couldn't find anything like that in their schedules.

Perhaps not. They don't have the domestic network that American does, although they have a couple hundred airplanes on order to build one. Maybe once they add Chicago - Des Moines and Houston - Amarillo they will have ****ty 3-2-3 min credit trips?

If anything I think it shows why comparing our schedules to United is not logical. They've got no flying like we do currently. It's basically akin to the flying we were doing back in the early-mid 2000's to 2010's before they upsized the equipment which incidentally looked a lot like the UA schedules I'm finding. 1-2 legs a day etc.
