Again I don't see the negative.
With our system it would be hard to make it function from a scheduling standpoint. We have correctly protected flying for in base pilots until the day before the trip. Only then can a out of base pilot pick up flying.
What we really need to do is bring all swaps under the pickup limit. That would increase staffing.
