To answer your question, not many. The majority of the famous 10 hour 3-days will get smashed into 4-5 day trips.
And to the extent that the average credit (not block) goes up, they will raise the average line value to zero out additional staffing as long as actual block isn't increasing. I don't recall a maximum ALV in the TA?
