I'm convinced that CS is trained to automatically deny anything a pilot suggests. Instead, try reverse psychology.

(A variant of this strategy actually worked for me once)...
That's exactly right. It's the culture of NO.

Also there's a lot of ego involved, if you found a way to fix staffing, make it sound like it was their idea. If you come up with it on your own they won't go for it.
