Our CEO has said for the record that while we are not looking to follow an Allegiant Airlines model, that we will see an increase in day trips as a normal part of our operations going forward.

Both TPA and MIA are rapidly moving toward multi-day trips compared to the previous months.
Day trips with high credit will go senior but low credit turns are possible for all line holders.

Most senior base to get into on the bottom as both an FO (wait 2-3 months) and CA (wait 1 year and growing). Base is stagnant. AA is willing to lose $ to prevent us from growing there.
Sorry for the thread drift. Day turns at Frontier in 3,2,1 . . .

Company restated their belief in "modular" flying to mitigate operational meltdowns in their q3 earnings call. I'd expect on a percentage basis for our trips to be modestly comprised of day turns in bases that are not gate constrained (ORD), for the foreseeable future.
Also, FWIW %1 day trips do NOT include red-eye turns. They are taken into consideration on the 2 day numbers.
