My one question. I don't disagree with point #1, but would it not be difficult, in a logistic sense, especially in keeping with schedules for the next day...assuming the same crew is scheduled to fly the AM departure?
As for payscales, a magic wand may be what is needed....different discussion
OK good pt. I will add that a crew on a given trip that starts with A.M. departers will keep them until the end of the trip. If the crew starts with P.M. departures-same thing. Mixing and matching adds to fatigue. Maybe a little un-realistic, but if crews keep the same hrs throughout the trip, it benifits greatly.
