Perhaps things may be be different in DAL than LAS and I'll preface this by saying that If I have the 25th OFF and am ready for ELITT opening, I have no problem turning a month of crappy weekend Fri-Sun lines into all three day partial weekend lines that at worst case start late SUN or end Early SAT and often weekday pairings totaling around 110 tfp, 16+ days off within an hour of ELITT opening in base. I actually monthly bid with this in mind and I'm a couple months junior to you but fairly even given our respective bases.

Is it a perfect system? Far from it.
