I actually think that is quite a daunting task.
This program exists.
From what I recall there is an airline out there that utilizes FLICA. The Pilots, without the Schedulers involvement, select the pairing they want to modify and drop their victory laps. It happens live and best of all the transaction occurs instantly. The program's algorithm has all the criteria built in.
Great for the Pilots (instant satisfaction) and great for the overwhelmed Schedulers.
