I don't think you understand the concept of rolling hubs (which is surprising considering you started this topic).

The point of a rolling hub schedule is to get an aircraft to turn as efficiently (read: quickly) as possible at both the hub and the spoke station. The point is to have aircraft in the air more and less ground time. Therefore, there's no 'rolling back' of any flights.

Keithguy,

I think you misunderstood what I was asking, my question was if crews (FA's/Pilots) would end up with longer work days after rolling hubs were implemented because they might arrive on one a/c and have to wait a longer time for the next a/c (2-3 hours?)compared to the current "banked flight scheduling" and ultimately have a longer day/trip.
