I understand that and I have been doing that too, but let's think ahead a little bit.
The company wants to be "Paperless", that means NO PAPER FLIGHT PLAN TO COPY IT FROM!
How are they going to do that without free wifi available at every gate, in every airport, in every country we serve?

I'll bet we have satellite wifi routers on every airplane within 5 years that work globally. I'm sure they will break though, so wifi at all gates is probably more likely. Then it all goes to hell when we get a solar flare and we will have to call badflaps and figure out how to plan and file a flight.

Haven't done international flying, but I don't think it is that big of a deal to get wifi to every gate we use in the world. I guarantee you that every airport we serve has internet access. Takes some money and the Geek Squad to run some wires and place routers everywhere. It's not there right now because we haven't needed it yet. I don't think it is that big of a project, but I may be wrong.

Reserve utilization is completely different that it will be in a few short months. For a while bases got ahead/fat for anticipated deliveries. That is starting to settle and probably by summer or fall at the latest, all bases will be short/min staffed all of the time.

Both are high frequency ops. 4-5 leg days are common and always will be. ATL has vastly superior trip mixes right now, whereas NYC is predominately shorter, radically non commutable trips. That will likely change somewhat, but will always remain prevalent as that is the nature of NYC domestic particularly high cycle short hop flying.

AE should be out the end of Feb or beginning of March. New hire seat locks on the 717 are just now starting to expire, so I would expect to see some new hires leave the 717, creating some movement in the category....
