For the few guys that might actually live nearby it is for sure.

For anyone trying to commute/PD/Swap, not so much.

My contention is they should be counting anyone that is awarded RES on that day, whether they have finished OE yet or not. It is more than reasonable to assume that they will be out on the line by the time that date rolls around, unless they are on Shadow days.

Even if we spot them the Shadow days, that would still make the majority of the month positive (at least prior to the first PCS run) allowing for a little bit of QOL in categories affected by this issue.
