Also, I think getting raw scope for SC helps position us for making SC credit into pay in C2012.

I'd be on reserve the rest of my career if we had all that stuff.

I for one live in base and would bid to do 6 days of short call every month if I got 2hrs above guarantee for each of the six days.

Throw in the ATL, and SEA for Southeast/Northwest coverage, plus a focus city or two in corporate heavy markets, like MSP and DTW, and you've got some business wonk's wet dream of domestic hubs.
NWA's Pacific/PAA's Europe/BNF's South America. Same dream, different day for international.
But it will never happen. Don't even want it to happen, for the karma gods WILL smite you for wishing it so.
