Way too much thought process for something that should be a no-brainer.
Just like trying to calculate runway distance down to the foot, if you gotta get it that precise is it even worth it?
No thanks. Under your proposal, I could work three straight 14 hour days, even with those days starting at 9pm. I'll take what ALPA came up with; the company can easily program their computers as is already done at DAL.
