[QUOTE="59 Dano, post: 5531101, member: 23516"] Well, it was a response to the COVID surge in volume. There was no way that MEMH and INDH could handle the increase in volume without doing something like that. Take BNAR, for example. Without RESPONSE, you get your flights around 0730-0800 because the hub sorts will take longer and go down later. The ramp sort, which would start later, also lasts longer due to the increase in volume. Your CTV gets to your station later and your sort lasts around an hour longer. And that's before accounting for fleet issues and station sort capacity. What it boiled down to was having all of a station's routes launch late in the morning (1045 or later) vs having most of them launch at a reasonable time and the rest launch later. I don't think anyone at any level of the company liked RESPONSE but it beat the alternative. [/QUOTE]
