Thanks for the question. To clarify, no I did not evaluate whether trips were fake two-day pairings, etc. I only compared percentage changes and block hours based on the previous month.

You can also avoid 2 days with end times 0000-0400 and just filter all of them out.

Happy to see that the analyzer tool is working properly. I should easily be able to know what I’m getting in March.

Easy choice.

Its a secret

You can do what you just mentioned but change the average daily credit to just pairing credit.

Either generic

“Award pairings if pairing credit <10 If pairing length = 2 days”

or for more specific credit range adjust the range as necessary

”Award pairings if pairing credit between 06:00 and 9:59 If pairing length = 2 Days”

Word of caution. If there are redeye turns you might not like what you get without an avoid redeyes line first. Or you can use koolaids method listed above and avoid trips that end past 02:00 or whatever you need.
