I'm trying to get my brain around VM vs. 5:15 DPA vs. 4:15 per day. So far, it seems like anything but 5:15 DPA is painful on near-European trips, or any 4 day transoceanic.

As far as the 10:30 2-days that start early and end late, same problem.

Since that sort of represents my category's flying, I'm not really turned on to the alternatives to 5:15 DPA.

I'm open to suggestions, though.
