It would absolutely eliminate commutability. Plus, aren't we all complaining about fatiguing rotations now? Well, I hope you enjoy your 6+ hour days and min rest overnights. At least now I can get trips with one leg to finish or one leg to start. That would be gone with a straight 6 hour min day.
The whole point of rigs and min days is to force the company to schedule more efficiently or pay a penalty. You all got too used to a company that was okay paying the penalty. It is very clear going forward that they don't intend to do it. So be prepared for those consequences because I guarantee they will squeeze out so the credit they can
