So you get home like 12 hours later after some F-d up commercial flight. How does this help family life?
Or...
You live in base and get back at 1am, but wait, Atlas uses Z time so it's really 5/6am, so that's a work day, but home in bed by 2am local get a restful sleep and have the rest of your work day with family! Not to mention all the base layovers (per diem included) spent at home.
