A 35 hour week is a powerful block of credit on your line that actually gets you 7 extra days off. 21-22.5 hours usually gets you 3, maybe 4, and is in the sweet spot for making the long haul guys unblockable.

If there was a 7 day trip that reported at 00:01 on day 1 and released at 23:59 on day 7, we would be all righteously indignant about how it needed to pay at least 35 hours, yet with vacation we accept 22.5? A "week" of vacation gets you an extra 3 days?
