If you can't layover one crew on a short layover how do you fix the rotation if you refuse standups? 35 layovers in Panama might be cool, but that's not my idea of productive unless they're going to pay me for it
We already have trips with 30+ hour layovers, at least on the 7ER and 73N.

I think the solutions will either be higher pay for a standup, via rig or something like it, 30+ hour layover or a DH out in the morning. (the company doesn't like the DH, the pilots don't like standups)...
