It's hub turns. Every freight airline since the Wright brothers that flies freight hub turns has had the same type schedule. There are plenty of old AIA guys here that would've told you what it was going to be like.

At the very least, hire someone from Atlas crew scheduling who will divulge this coveted super secret strategy. If all else fails, I suppose crews will just need to start fatiguing out.
