Be careful what you ask for.
What?
Six hours a day just means you fill up in 2 fewer days/month; no reduction in pilot requirements. Probably would increase the reserves required for narrowbody guys as more trips would push the limits on 117 rules.
I do agree with the fact commutable trips would mostly disappear, especially for us narrowbody guys.
