The problem with those 6 day trips (that flight ops "leadership" refuses to learn) is that two six day trips are all that can be awarded to a line holder to meet the construction window, after that, they can't be added via WS, and any WB B halfway aware knows not to have 6 days of LC available with six day trips in open time. These were the primo trips to roll thunder this last summer, especially because many were broken into two 4 day trips and handed out as GS. Fourth floor spreadsheet ninjas know what's best though.
