Even if they are not picked up (like was done in ANC) the process allows PC or whoever his replacement becomes the ability to say the dispute is invalid and make the trip permanent!
It started with ANC-NRT-NGO and now is ANC-NRT-KIX or ICN
That is certainly true. But, the rest of the story is that most DP's that are routinely not picked up
DO get fixed long before they get to that point.
And these 8 in 24 trips would surely get fixed, if they had to burn 2 or 3 R-days per 1 day trip, on a reserve.
