A lot of the senior guys are b*tching and moaning because they will no longer be able to rape the company of money when they duty out at 12:01 and get an extra six hours of pay, or they refuse to do a sim session at 3am... Meanwhile guys up north just want to be able to go see their families every 4 or 5 days, not once a month.... Silver-stream for the win.
