Benzo is right, you'll be doing a lot of 3-day trips with day sleeps like this:

Day 1- flight departs JFK/BOS between 6-10pm, you fly 4-6hrs to SDQ, STI, BQN, PHX, ABQ, etc
Day 2- sleep during the morning, eat lunch, sleep during the afternoon. Flight departs late at night local time and fly 4-6hrs back to base.
Day 3- land with the sun in your eyes at 7-8am, stumble to the crash pad and sleep more during the day.

It is great for commuters, since you finish early on day 3 (assuming you don't have more RSV days left) but you only get 10-11hrs credit for those 3day trips.
