Good point. And I'm going to be the bad guy (temporarily) by requiring only direct flights during the sequester, even if it means flying on a different carrier than your fave. The only exception is if you leave home base before 7am. Four of my staff are AA loyalists and have no problem with early departures. My only whiners fly DL.
