With the large number of commuters it seems like more ddh's and fewer weekend layovers is a win/win scenario. Worst case for the company is that a pilot actually takes the scheduled dh.

I heard this many years ago from a SIG guy. Sometimes the company switches because they need to build lines to a certain CH amount. By switching from DDH to w/e layover and vice versa a line can change CHs by an hour or two. Also, during the winter there are more w/e layovers to smaller cities because the company doesn't trust the dh service getting in there because of wx.
