It is highly efficient. Pilot sit time at airports is FREE!!! Well OK, it costs $1.85/hour. You couldn't hire an illegal immigrant for $2/hour. It doesn't get any more efficient than that. It's hard to trigger the daily duty overtime rig with 117.
Pilot sit time in hotels is mostly free...again, hard to trigger the trip rig. About the only way is Mx base flying (0500 show, 2300 release).
Our idea of efficiency is not the same as the company's...
