That 28 hour 4 day that everyone loves right now would more than likely become a 22-24 hour line. Take 4-6 hours away from each of 3 trips and now the pilot doesn't meet guarantee. Now you are picking up another trip on what used to be your days off to make up the difference in hours.
Those 28 hour lines at Pinnacle are built at the expense of the junior guys, who get stuck with 2 days worth 8 hours stuck on the back of a 4-day worth 16 hours. If they rebuild all the lines to 4 days worth 20-25 hours, I'd actually be happy with that.
