Why would they build 5 day reserve silos in a base that has 6 day trips to begin with? That's their problem if they can't match staffing to the mission. Allow for 1 or 2 RDO's to allow for some flexibility within the daily silos to absorb the longer trips. 6 is overkill, and allows them to staff thinly.
