You have to have language for at least 5 a month. The only way to get around this is to send all the airplanes out of Vegas on Friday night, fly outside turns on Saturday, then fly back to Vegas on Sunday morning. You get to spend a nice 3-day every weekend in North Bumfuq, Idaho but hey, you don't have to do single days off. There's only so many flights to work with, which do you want - single days off or 3 day trips every weekend?
There are ways around 3 day trips every weekend, but to answer your question...if that 3 day trip was followed by 4 days off, I'll take the 3 day trip. I like being home every night, but I'd be willing to do a couple overnights a month to avoid single days off.

They could fix it if they want to. The company doesn't want to bother to try.
