Can they though? 23m7 lets them skip steps of coverage, but only to get them to another step, right? Within which step of coverage would this rotation be assigned/awarded to the pilot living in AUS, if say there are other available pilots still ahead of them within that step?
Also, a legal rotation would still have to start/end at base. A DH could achieve this desired affect of course, with the pilot deviating that DH. But that adds time to the rotation as built.
