Actually it is for you to easily see what you have booked. The company is not removing guys over 13:30 or not having the 1:30 between flights. If they are I would love to hear about it. Big brother is always watching even before the flights showed up on your calendar.
You are implying that just because you jump into a flight over 13:30 you are not rested ? What about the guy that shows up at the folder in MEM (a local) and says" man I just got in from a 15 hour drive home from vacation, have not slept a wink." He did not j/s so he must be rested ? That logic does not fly, either you sow up rested or not, period. If I slept from 3-8 pm at home and take a j/s into work at 10pm for a duty that puts me at 14:30, where is the harm ? If I show up tired. commuter or local guy then you have something to chat about.
