They could decrease staffing across the same number of block hours by increasing pairing efficiency. It seems like the best win-win situation possible for both management and the pilot group. They save money on less staffing, we get more days off per month with better pairings.

Someone with a business degree please explain to me why they would even want to keep building 16 hour 4 days and inefficient trips. It makes no sense to me why they want to pay me to sit in hotel rooms for 30 hours.
