Even if you now have to commute in day before and pay for the hotel? You have a trip that is commutable on both ends. If you get calendar day, you will work calendar day. No more 11pm start, 10am finish, they are paying for the whole day, they will use you the whole day. Say goodbye to being able to commute on both ends. If it is the red eyes you don't want, get a better override. If you don't make enough money get a higher rate. Asking for calendar day and thinking the trips will stay the same? Priceless. Stop looking at the calendar, and look at TAFB. This a 24/7 job, not 9/5.

You are literally saying that starting work 1 minute after midnight should pay the same as starting work 23 hours and 58 minutes later at 1 minute before the next midnight. Think about that.
