Bottom line is I get to see my kids when they get home from school/sitter and have a family dinner, at the dinner table, with them and my wife practically every day.

I consider that better than a 1430 report with a 0030 duty-off, in which case Circadian rhythm is less disrupted but I’d not get to see my family nearly as much during the week.

My kids are young, that time matters to me, having the CHOICE is nice.

YMMV...
