There are compayns in this sector that have increased the pay for this reason and it has helped a bit. But what I haven't seen change is the "schedule" or lack there of.

In the on demand auto world the 40/20 "schedule" just wont work because you have to have too many pilots on staff to cover the time when the other guys are off. Not only does it increase overall company expenses b/c of more staff on salary but in also increases initial and recurrent training costs and I highly doubt the turnover % would be much lower than it is now. ODC is not for everyone and so many wash out after a few months online despite the pay / "schedule".

If said company were to try to do this "schedule" it would reflect on their charter prices and the competition would be getting the flying b/c they are still staffed as they are now, minimally with very few hard days off. Thus the company is more expensive with less revenue = failure. I literally watched this happen before my own eyes.
