Also, look at any WB category for the last several months. Virtually 0 pre-month credit, but once PBS is done, nothing but 6-day trips in open time. The only way to cover these trips is to break them up and add DHs to the middle city, thus making two 4-day trips, each with a DH (Credit) and going out as GSs (like you said, twice the normal rate). BRILLIANT!!
Someone is SO addicted to the optimizer that they refuse to look at the post-month cost. Not our problem.
