That. The company's favorite move is knowing the flight won't go anywhere for 7 hours, but instead of posting a 7 hour delay you get 14 30 minute delays and no hotel.

...carefully timed to ensure you’ve packed your gear and departed the “comfort” of the crew lounge and made your way to the gate, which is invariably on the other end of the terminal.

They just wait to see when your Surface is on the move towards the gate and then they post the next slip...😁

I was just browsing bid packages and the 717 LAX B packages look crazy high block/credit per day. I saw many trips with like 26 hours on a 4 day and one 5 day with 33 and a half hours. Is that normal? Seems crazy different from most nb categories.
