Outstation basing is your enemy regarding quality of life.

RAH loves it's outstations and doesn't care about it's crew members enough to even consider changes for the better regarding it's terrible and fatiguing outstations schedules.

Nearly every trip begins at o-dark-thirty and ends after 10pm. People who commute to outstations for Republic talk about how rare it is that they see their base city during the daylight hours, unless of course, they are operating a turn out of it.

Worse yet, the rare multi-day trip that just may have the potential to be commutable is only a two or three-day, not the four day trips preferred by commuters.

Even if you don't commute, such schedules will kick your ass and you'll spend the day after your trip either sleeping to recover from the shock of such a blatant violation of your body's circadian rhythms or walking around in a zombie-like trance should your life schedule not allow such a thing. You'll also find it very difficult to fall asleep at 8pm in order to get the 8 hours of sleep needed before a 0400 alarm to start your trip. So you'll start a trip tired and you'll end a trip tired.

Republic doesn't appear to have time to fix such a significant detriment to it's crew member's quality of life. They are far too busy attempting to "changing the culture" with shiny beads and shallow flattery.
