If I end my trips with an Amazon sequence I generally get home about 12 hours earlier than on a DHL sequence.
A same day commute in the AM (which I have done), with the way the airlines are now, can quickly become being awake for 24 hours. In reality, a lot of the return trips end around 1700 local when coming back to CVG from the West Coast. Like you said, depends on where you live but many times the last train out of dodge is boarding around 1800-1830. Nothing convenient about our pairings, as evidenced (like I said earlier) by the November bid package. More legs, less time on layovers with extended airport sits.
