No to trip rigs.
Unless you get a pairing like this 4 day. (I've edited out some of the detail)

D-END: 1643L REPT: 0626L 1343
D-END: 1145L REPT: 0500L 1715
D-END: 1314L REPT: 0520L 1606
D-END: 1045L -----------------------

This pairing will now pay nearly another two hours. 1821 vs 1624.

It may only be a small percentage of trips, but they are out there and someone has to fly them.

If you can convince management to bump up the MDG to 4:30 or 5:00 I'm all for it.

Another MSP gem.
