Heck, we had MD11, 777 and 767-400 going to Florida for a long time. Certainly it makes more sense to have those aircraft doing international when they can, but makes you wonder in the current situation if it would help alleviate some of the issues.

ALPA destroyed ARCOS.
The batch size is absolutely stupid. I’m sorry.

Disagree. Allowing unlimited batch sizes was absurd. It became a sweepstakes for junior bidders.

Before ARCOS, the batch size was 1. The lack of batch size limits started getting out of control as the summer of 2019 approached "Red line" limits. I think current sizes is a decent compromise.

Agreed, current batch sizing is great. The alternative was not all that fun.

I’m not advocating for unlimited, but with the insanity right now, I know it’s not allowing them to get through the coverage ladder with anything close to efficiency. Everyone screaming where are the GSWC, it’s because by the time they get to them, they already had to cancel the flights. There’s got to be a better answer somewhere in the middle.

Seems like leverage to me.
