The reason they get put out early is that no one in HQ wants to work Friday afternoons or the weekends . Forget about any holidays, no one in the right mind works on a holiday , it is just barbaric to work on holidays.

This is the sole reason they come out early.

More red eyes are coming.. a lot of funneling into BWI w/ them. My guess is Interline flying to begin 2Q25 out of there.

You think? The way AW explained it to us in training is those redeyes essentially become the second round of launches from BWI that would normally be coming from places like ROC or ORF with 40 people on them. This allows the company to make those morning flights from the eastern outstations at a more human time to be awake and thus generate more traffic and revenue with them.

AW is probably right about that.. I just heard something from the station that they were testing new equipment that would allow it to happen. No idea on who would launch it though.

A 4 day that only credits 20? I don't think that will go over well here.
