Of course. As for LC, I'd be in favor of some kind of change to acknowledge the basic reality of mainstream city pair commutes where 12 hours still results in a long commuting blackout period. That's simply common sense.
And while that may be mostly commuter specific, there are many commuter friendly work rules that also benefit those who live in base. More notice, earlier releases and later reports are generally good for everyone. Don't worry, the "locals" who live 3 hours from NYC will always have their choice of 5AM/Midnight stuff.
One of the best changes we've seen in several contracts is the first day 10AM limit for reserves. Beats the snot out of 5AM like it was, even if you still have to commute the day before. And that''s something that benefits everyone.
