As a suggestion, why don't you offer two or three different options for the pilots. This has the benefit of making the company more appealing to people and gives you a larger pool to choose from. I know there can be scheduling issues but with computer scheduling, the complicated can be made less complicated.
While I don't know if finding quality pilots is an issue for AS, when I read about some of these companies that have trouble recruiting and I look at the schedule, I think, why don't they have a second option available. A lot of pilots have family commitments as well and with both mom and Dad having income, pay is not as much an issue as time off. If a company were to offer an option of reduced pay for a different more family friendly schedule(such as 14 on/14 off), there might be an increased amount of interest. Another possibility is part time positions to fill in.
I know that there are still fixed costs in a company regardless of the amount of work done but I feel it is something a company should consider as you will never make everyone happy with one schedule type.
