Since they have to adjust flight times so that all
hub tuners gets 3:30, chances
are the turn time of your commute would be longer. Not that it is required.
I think when most guys talk about destroying commuting they are talking about week on week off schedules. 30+ hour weeks become 18-22 hour weeks.
