any increase at all would be welcomed. More WB flying we have the better. Maybe I’m one of the few oddballs (well I guess I know I am) but I don’t necessarily care where I’m going I just like being in the air. Obviously not all overnights are the same but I think we can suck it up with how much money we make. I still have to pinch myself seeing our pay scale especially the WB B scale. I can make how much while I sleep in the bunk!?

Yep, we've got 20 -1000 coming, they're going to add new routes. Top paying jets could be above 180 in a few years based off orders and options.

I think it would be more likely a 6-8 day trip from DTW or ATL with the SLC in the middle. You know how they hate credit..

​​​​​​ICN is an FRMS trip from DTW and ATL, that changes the calculus. LAX-ICN won't be FRMS, so that is where they will most likely build the 6 day trips. SEA A350 could fill in once it opens. Do we operate MSP-ICN as a 6-8 day all international out of DTW or ATL? All I've seen is either DH or working domestic legs.

The MSP-ICN has either DH on either end, domestic operating legs to/from MSP, or a mix of the two, so you're correct there. LAX does do some DH to DTW then fly DTW-HND-DTW-HND-LAX as a 7 day trip. The FRMS is a mystrey to me, so how that plays into it could change stuff.

Great - if I was in charge of network I'd made Austin a hub for us. Great 220/73N/321 hub, can hit both coasts comfortable. High income city with business so good O/D traffic, nice mid-continent location

Only problem is enough gates, that would be the sticking point. I know they are getting a new concourse but that's years away.
