3-4 day ADG = 5:45/day
5+ day ADG = 6:00/day

Sure, I'd like 6/day for all the trips as Carmen currently builds them, but I don't want to make 1- and 2-days so "credit expensive" that the optimizer stops making them completely.
I like this kind of approach. Naturally creates a balance.

Except for commuters. This approach would incentivize shorter trips, ruining QOL for those that don’t live in base.

Would it incentivize?

As a commuter I try to commute down as little as possible.

With the 5:30/day for two day trips and 5:45/day for four day trip mentioned above, a single four day trip would pay 23hrs, but back to back two day trips would only pay 22hr and force me to get hotel or crash pad between the trips.

Me personally, I would bid for the single 4 day trip: commute down once, no need for hotel/crashpad, more hours of pay for the same 4 days worked.

The optimizer would produce mostly 1 and 2 day trips since they are ‘cheaper’. Thus less 4 and 5 day trips. Worse for commuters

What percentage of pilots at Delta commute? I’m guessing it’s higher than at United, but I could be wrong.

Depends on the hub. New York on the 75/76 i know maybe 3 guys who ground commute less than 2 hours.

Today I'm on day 2 of the first of back to back two days. Both front side commutable, but not back side commutable.

So JFK is a bigger disaster than that Kentucky gun range attacked by Syria.

We dont have the people for this.
