Also, we now must have 3 nights at home between long legged trips, where as it used to be double the block time, so we can't stack the trips up as close together.
The good news (for some) is the super senior guys who have been getting a lot of greenslips, flying 120/30 can't do that any more, so those trips will spill on down the list.
The bad news is, the reserves are going to start flying more of those trips that had been W/S.
I'd call that a huge WIN for the company.
That's the one that's killing the international categories ability to move trips around. Many of our trips have large amounts of block time, no credit, crammed into a few calendar days. If you try to back load one month, and front load the next month, it won't work any more, due to exceeding the 100/28.

Conference call on right now....
Kick ***.... If you are online at 10am today... click for the earnings webcast. Premarket trading was up over $1.30
And FWIW, Mr Anderson told us the truth at the LCP meeting in March about this. (Not that I had any doubt.. ) but I am just pointing out that the gouge we have been getting at those meetings has been truthful and spot on.

It's interesting how they don't want to be the best airline, they want to own the transport industry.

Anderson says 19 737-900s delivered this year are cash flow positive from Day 1.
Wow.
Wow.
That is exactly what Mr A said at the LCP meeting. When you get the transcripts from this conference call, run the numbers on their goals for P/E multiple, and EPS growth... I'll leave it at that.
