good point, but I'd counter with the fact that network likes to operate a mainline into a lot of the smaller cities with the last flight of the day and first out, so this is the only way it works.

The rotations will change based on the rules in place at the time they are built. Remember the changes that happened when FAR 117 went into effect? I would expect any amount of daily guarantee to also have an impact.

I kind of like the trips with 7 hours block day 1, long layover on day 2 and 7 hours on day 3. They are especially nice when they are hometown layovers. A daily guarantee would make them all but disappear.

With virtual basing there will be no hometown layovers, but a lot of one day trips:eek:

That's true.

Makes me want to ask a question, is this the last time we are going to increase how many 76 seaters can be outsourced?

Just to get it on record.

It all depends on how many already parked 50 seaters Delta can buy.;)

For us non-carrier pilots, I thought you were supposed to look only at the "ball", not the deck, so how would a full moon help? :confused:

Some questions for those in the know:

How is it even possible that Seattle is not a hub in this TA?

Should I have a reason as a pilot to be in favor of the current non-hub "arrangement" there?

If this TA passes, should I expect Delta to start collecting mandatory dues?

All kinds of things for night currency as I recall. Not just landings.
If god had meant for people to land jets on ships...he'd have made bigger ships.
