If they did do them as turns it would be great for the LA pilots. A large copilot bid would have to be put out to handle the increased staffing and you would only have to work 7 or 8 days a month. On the occasions I could beg borrow or steal a Maui turn I loved it.
Well then ................ that will obviously never happen.
