Second, doing so would cause the average line value to drop, and the company certainly wouldn't look to remedy that by building higher credit pairings. The only way to fix this is a 5+ min day and better rig.
Honest question, so why is the 'blocks of 5 consecutive days off' in here if it's actually 4? I was under the impression it is supposed to be no less than 5; however, if for some reason that's not going to be possible, they are not permitted to go to no less than blocks of 4. What am I missing?

In lieu of the above, to the maximum extent possible, no less than four consecutive days off in domicile, except regular lines may contain blocks of less than four consecutive days off in domicile on the first three and last three days of the month. Exceptions to multiple day-off blocks may occur with prior consultation of the Scheduling Committee chairman.
