Optimizer
As far as the 320 goes in DTW, I really haven't seen rotations quite this awful to date (only 5 years here, so far). They are truly awful, packed with 3 long legs a day, short layovers and they're uncommutable. I know there was mention of the RCC possibly having a final word (or at least A word) in the rotation construction, but do we know the details of what they're aiming for. This Optimizer (sodomizer) is really doing a number on rotations up in DTW. (I did fill out the RCC survey).
