That's an interesting concept, but I wouldn't say its completely "without penalty" to the company, as they have to break up more trips and use a lot of DH credit…in many cases burning multipile reserves for the same "day" of a trip, as well as using given reserves for more days than the footprint they are covering due to front or back end DH only positioning, to simply "cover out of base". What you say still has merit, but I'd expect that to be "backed out" of any actual attempt to do what you are saying.
