All these improvements combined will improve a few outlier trips, but the vast majority of pilots won't notice much of a difference.
I hope I'm wrong, but I predict the optimizer easily targeting 10hr FDP's, 3hr sits, and 10,12,10 hr overnights.
Granted, you never know how the trips will actually look, but if you go back to last spring and look at the ATL trips on the 73, there is no doubt it would force improvements. 4 day trips with no layover greater than 11.5 scheduled. That alone means you had to be close to max duty on 3 of the days.
