Think you need to check your knowledge of ALTREVs, particularly since the changes that were introduced by CARF and EUCARF. No room for pragmatism I am afraid. If the AARCs did plan for a second crossing on the same day and,alas, there were to be some unserviceabilities culminating in a night stop Lajes, the whole trail would have to wait potentially for another 3 days whilst the ALTREV was further secured.
Securing airspace is no guarantee. Therefore, the pragmatist would build in a lot of flex, which means the trail will take longer (number of days) than is feasibly possible, but gets there sooner.
Hope that helps
