You bring up a good point. At my last airline, we had ship sets. We went to about the same 15 airports, but the airplanes went to mostly the same two or three (same aircraft, same route). The Jepps for those cities were well used - it wasn't crew abusing the charts, just normal use. Imagine the ATL charts being used 4+ times a day as the plane goes ATL-DCA-ATL-MCO-ATL-DFW or whatever.
