This would remove me from the pair-gain queue?
No it's translateing your will into something telco bureucrats understand :)

Any chance I could just request they remove me from the pair-gain system?
Well try..?

What exactly is a pair-gain system / how does it work, anyway?
If iirc it's a box that will take two subscriber lines and put it onto on.
That way telco can save money for their benefit. It will pass one subscriber
through and add another by modulateing it at ~300 kHz something.

There are many ways to do "pair gain". Some switch the copper,
some modulate it. The point is that "pair gain" == *gaining* a
*pair* of copper wires from the switch to the customer by some hook
or crook. It might be possible to bitch enough to get them to fix
the problem (but distance may still be a problem). If there is
cable available this is good leverage too.
