The crew would be probably the easiest parameter to optimize because they don't have a choice. Let's say the current configuration has a set of crew in PHX and on wednesdays they normally go to denver, 2 hrs away. with a dynamic configuration, they can expect to go on any 2 hour flight or less. the only commitment to the crew is that they are to be returned to their home city on their first day off. If they have enough seniority, then they can be put on the top list of employees to draw from to go to DEN if thats what they want. I don't see the problem. The crew could be routed just as dynamically as the PAX.
