A few weeks later the company sent a certificate with the airplane number, hours and cycles it had when we retired it, along with one of those keychains made from aircraft skin. It was a really cool experience I never would’ve been able to take part in had I not been browsing MOT.
And a case of bud light made out of the scraps of that airframe?

This definitely needs to be addressed in the next contract. Definitely one of my no-go
items.
always make sure the new overlap trip never goes through your base, also bid AM or PM to make it worse then use ELLIT or TTGA to change it back to what you want.
on the company website you can see where they will split you trip based on city pairs. It's in flight ops, bidding or thereabouts.
if you're bidding reserve to make an overlap problem, don't. scheduling will flip one or the other to make it work. You'll never win with reserve.
