My recommendation (not yet on the MEC) would be more lines with slightly less BLG. Numbers discussed in another thread say 3000 hours less in Jan. Divide that by lines...but I dont' think you'll see 48 hour lines. The SIG will get busy.
My input (as a bystander) is that if the BLG goes down the 15/19 R day gets down sized too. No reason to sit R days for 3-4 hours...we just need fewer R days.
The silver lining to all of this should be a bit more time off--for family, military obligations, side businesses, working on college, etc etc.
No sivler lining as The lines cannot Contractually pay less than:
68 hours in a 4 week month
85 hours in a 5 week month
I doubt you will see the lines values change all that mouch as they are already on the lower side of normal averages. I doubt the company will want to buy up lines to any large degree.
We certainly might see fewer Regualr lines and thus more Secondary or Reserve lines.
