If it's money that drives this issue, we wouldn't buy up lines. We would, instead, just increase the number of reserve lines. It costs less to have a bubba on reserve than give him/her 61 hrs of flying on a 68 hr paid line. Plus--You would have a ton of folks available to fly with 1.5 hrs of notice. We would see even less draft than what is paid right now.
