I would think it would be easier to build commutable 5 days than 3 or 4 days. Another day to build up the block to avoid credit.

Some people love them.... most seem to hate them, but those that do really like them. Might as well have a sprinkling in each category variable with user request in the rotation surveys.
day and 2-day trips for me, please.

1. You will end up with closer to 30% of your trips as 5-days. SLC for Jan has 35%. DTW has 44%.
2. About half of them will be commutable, those are OK. The other half will be non-commutable, those are absolutely ridiculous.
3. The non-commutable ones should have a fatigue management guide pop up in I-crew when you sign in.
