Just adding a min day, would raise pay, but would probably exacerbate the problem of adding flying to the first and last day, as why pay you the "min day" to fly one leg?
Add a provision for 200% pay for all flying after 2000 on the last trip day? Or for any flying before 1000 on the first day? That would at a minimum improve commutability.
