My Dad retired from the FAA in the 90's. Those schedules are the same sort of crap he put up with for years. I fly night cargo myself and I believe those controller schedules (especially the day/night transitions) are much harder on the body than anything I have to do.

I've been flying commercially for 26 years, so I have no illusions about FAA management. I'm just astounded that after all these years your management can still get away with ignoring basic human physiology. Hats off to the controllers who do do a fantastic job and make it work in spite of everything!
