In theory, yes, but in practice, no I don't see this at all. During Feb (slow month), I had a GS in for a 5 day trip in open time. Scheduling instead split it up into 3 pilots. One of those pilots operated the first leg with me DHing in the back, then he was done and DH back to base while I walked up to the cockpit to fly my portion. I'm all for 3 of us getting paid instead of 1, and I'm no scheduler but how is that genius?
We both ran the trip through the rules auditor and both of us had no violations for the original 5 day.
