Very well. You make an excellent point. I was specifically thinking about an M88B as the OP said he was. The 88 doesn't have as many (any) of the crappy 10:30 3-days that you guys do. My oversight, and I feel your pain.

Many of the LAX trips won't qualify for the ADG either as they report after 22:00. This is a huge negative in the TA and I freely admit they should not have been cut out. Most of the other bases will see nearly a 30% increase in credit on those crappy 3 days though, so for plenty of pilots this will result in less days worked.

On the other hand, your schedule won't be any worse than it currently is (small consolation I know, ha) as the OP was asserting. Correct me if I'm wrong. I've been fighting it, but time is turning me ATL-centric
