...because ADOPT was designed to work with the correct amount of crew needed to operate flights. What has and probably still is happening is that there were some 20-30 ghosted pilots in the allocations, when the system finally spits out the roster those ghosted pilots (ie guys that don't exist) have their flights dumped into open time. Usually good layovers..... which is why when you are on reserve you get a great long line of trips, more than often layovers.
