If we need to be productive and productive means 3 legs per day (hub turns) then let's do more 2 day trips for people who live in base and prefer being home. Commuters and people who hate their family can do 4 or 5 day trips with a 30 hour somewhere so they are basically doing 2 3-leg 2 days back to back.
Long fatiguing days are ok if they are broken up by rest or days off. The pairing analyzer for CLT shows the most common trip (by a decent margin) is a 3-3-3 3 day which explains why everyone below the top 3rd is trying to trade/drop every trip on their lines.
