A very tiny minority of them are. Sorry about butting into a FDX thread but this issue affects us too and we (ups) are actively pursuing 117. It might or it might not happen but at the recent gmm meeting our president debunked what he called many myths about 117, such as our schedules becoming uncommutable, etc., etc...several of our nay sayers were very surprised when he showed them several examples of how much better 117 would've been on a typical night hauler schedule.. Not perfect but better. He also said that they've compared typical bid packets at several airlines and supposedly the vast majority of fdx schedules are already 117 compliant whereas here we aren't even close.
..back to the 24 in 7 question..
