Doing 10 hour 3 days will ensure we work right down to 13 days off trying to get the minimum window.
You can not base new schedule on current like add or subtract leg. Pairing software starts from zero. Big change in init parameter -rig , 24 hour layover for extra duty period, 29/7, even per diem price means big change in output pairing.
Would be interesting to see what company uses to start to see if any is built in for reschedule enroute.
